2. AI Industry (2-3 items) — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, startups
3. Global Politics (2-3 items) — US, Europe, Asia, conflicts, policy

Brave API rate limited. Let me use SearXNG instead. Let me read the skill file.

Rate limited on Brave — switching to SearXNG.


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.

ChatGPT is getting a Lockdown Mode.
Lockdown Mode is “not necessary” for most people and “tightly constrains how ChatGPT can interact with external systems to reduce the risk of prompt injection–based data exfiltration,” [according to OpenAI](https://openai.com/index/introducing-lockdown-mode-and-elevated-risk-labels-in-chatgpt/).

The Apple Vision Pro is getting foveated streaming, which is Valve’s fancy trick for the Steam Frame.
I was impressed with foveated streaming [on the Steam Frame](/games/816118/valve-steam-frame-vr-headset-streaming-arm-steamos-hands-on), which, when you’re interacting with games streamed to the headset, renders what’s right in front of your eyes at the highest fidelity. I hope it’s just as good on the Vision Pro.
Apple announced visionOS’s foveated streaming as part of the first developer beta for visionOS 26.4.

Unity plans to let developers “prompt full casual games into existence” with AI.
Despite developers being increasingly [skeptical of generative AI](/entertainment/869386/ai-game-development-gdc-survey), “AI-driven authoring is our second major area of focus for 2026,” Unity CEO Matthew Bromberg said in earnings remarks [reported on by](https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/unity-says-its-ai-tech-will-soon-be-able-to-prompt-full-casual-games-into-existence-)[Game Developer](https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/unity-says-its-ai-tech-will-soon-be-able-to-prompt-full-casual-games-into-existence-). The company plans to reveal more about the new prompting tools at the GDC Festival of Gaming in March.

The Department of Defense may designate Anthropic as a “supply chain risk.”
Should Anthropic get the designation, “anyone who wants to do business with the U.S. military has to cut ties with the company,” [Axios says](https://www.axios.com/2026/02/16/anthropic-defense-department-relationship-hegseth). The two sides have apparently been negotiating for months over how the military can use Anthropic’s AI tools.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is shutting down on April 17th.
Activision [removed the game from app stores](/news/668899/call-of-duty-warzone-mobile-wind-down) in May because it “did not meet our expectations.” If you’re still playing it, you’ll have a couple months until it’s offline for good.

But 1,000 tokens per second is actually modest by Cerebras standards. The company has [measured](https://www.cerebras.ai/blog/cerebras-inference-3x-faster) 2,100 tokens per second on Llama 3.1 70B and [reported](https://insidehpc.com/2025/08/cerebras-reports-3000-tokens-per-second-inference-on-openai-gpt-oss-120b-model/) 3,000 tokens per second on OpenAI’s own open-weight gpt-oss-120B model, suggesting that Codex-Spark’s comparatively lower speed reflects the overhead of a larger or more complex model.

AI coding agents have had a [breakout year](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2026/01/10-things-i-learned-from-burning-myself-out-with-ai-coding-agents/), with tools like [OpenAI’s Codex](https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/01/openai-spills-technical-details-about-how-its-ai-coding-agent-works/) and Anthropic’s [Claude Code](https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/sixteen-claude-ai-agents-working-together-created-a-new-c-compiler/) reaching a new level of usefulness for rapidly building prototypes, interfaces, and boilerplate code. OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic have all been racing to ship more capable coding agents, and latency has become what separates the winners; a model that codes faster lets a developer iterate faster.

With fierce competition from Anthropic, OpenAI has been iterating on its Codex line at a rapid rate, [releasing](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/12/openai-releases-gpt-5-2-after-code-red-google-threat-alert/) GPT-5.2 in December after CEO Sam Altman issued an internal “code red” memo about competitive pressure from Google, then shipping GPT-5.3-Codex just days ago.

## Diversifying away from Nvidia

Spark’s deeper hardware story may be more consequential than its benchmark scores. The model runs on Cerebras’ Wafer Scale Engine 3, a chip the size of a dinner plate that Cerebras has [built](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/11/hungry-for-ai-new-supercomputer-contains-16-dinner-plate-size-chips/) its business around since at least 2022. OpenAI and Cerebras [announced](https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/a-new-version-of-openais-codex-is-powered-by-a-new-dedicated-chip/) their partnership in January, and Codex-Spark is the first product to come out of it.

Over the weekend Ars Technica [retracted an article](https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/after-a-routine-code-rejection-an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-someone-by-name/) because the AI a writer used [hallucinated quotes](https://bsky.app/profile/benjedwards.com/post/3mewgow6ch22p) from an open source library maintainer.
The irony here is the maintainer in question, Scott Shambaugh, was [harassed by someone's AI agent](https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-me/) over not merging it's AI slop code.
It's likely the bot was running through someone's local 'agentic AI' instance (likely using OpenClaw). The guy who built OpenClaw was just hired by OpenAI to "work on bringing agents to everyone." You'll have to forgive me if I'm not enthusastic about that.

This blog post is a lightly-edited transcript of the video I published to YouTube today. Scroll past the video embed if you're like me, and you'd rather read the text :)

## Impacts on Open Source
Last month, even before OpenClaw's release, curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg [dropped bug bounties](https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/01/26/the-end-of-the-curl-bug-bounty/) because AI slop resulted in actual useful vulnerability reports going from 15% of all submissions down to 5%.
And that's not the worst of it—the authors of these bug reports seem to have a more entitled attitude:
These "helpers" try too hard to twist whatever they find into something horribly bad and a critical vulnerability, but they rarely actively contribute to actually improve curl. They can go to extreme efforts to argue and insist on their specific current finding, but not to write a fix or work with the team on improving curl long-term etc. I don't think we need more of that.
These agentic AI users don't care about curl. They don't care about Daniel or other open source maintainers. They just want to grab quick cash bounties using their private AI army.
I manage [over 300 open source projects](https://github.com/geerlingguy), and while many are more niche than curl or matplotlib, I've seen my own increase in AI slop PRs.
It's gotten so bad, GitHub added a feature to [disable Pull Requests entirely](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-02-13-new-repository-settings-for-configuring-pull-re

Great, the jeffgeerling.com article mentions OpenClaw is involved in the open source destruction topic. This is very relevant to our community and worth noting.

Now let me get markets/science. Let me fetch a science page and a markets page.

Good data from Reuters markets. Let me also try to fetch the arxiv paper to understand it better, and look at some other news sources.

From what I've gathered so far, let me compile my news items:

**TECH:**
1. **"AI is destroying Open Source"** - jeffgeerling.com - trending on HN - AI slop PRs flooding open source projects, curl bounties killed, GitHub adding PR-disable settings - URL: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/ai-is-destroying-open-source/ - NEW, not reported before
2. **FreeFlow** - Free open-source alternative to Wispr Flow/Superwhisper voice transcription tool - github.com/zachlatta/freeflow - NEW, HN #5 today

3. **Bluetooth Privacy** - "What your Bluetooth devices reveal" trending on HN (#11, 297 points) - blog.dmcc.io - NEW

**AI:**
1. **OpenAI Codex-Spark on Cerebras wafer-size chips** - OpenAI sidesteps Nvidia, runs 1000 tok/sec coding model on plate-sized chips - arstechnica.com - NEW
2. **ChatGPT Lockdown Mode** - OpenAI introducing Lockdown Mode to prevent prompt injection/data exfiltration - openai.com - NEW
3. **Anthropic vs DoD** - Pentagon may designate Anthropic as "supply chain risk" over military use dispute - axios.com - NEW
4. **Unity AI** - Unity plans to let devs "prompt full casual games into existence" - gameDeveloper - NEW

**GLOBAL:**
1. **Bondi Beach shooting accused in court** - faces 59 charges including 15 murder counts and 1 terrorist attack charge - bbc.com - NEW
2. **Navalny poisoned** - Navalny's mother says new poison finding confirms murder, not natural death - bbc.com - NEW
3. **Venezuelan political prisoners** - Pressure grows for release of hundreds still imprisoned - bbc.com - NEW
4. **Kenya airport strike** - labour dispute delays international flights at Nairobi - bbc.com - NEW
5. **Epstein files** - AG criticized for claiming all Epstein files released, lawmakers say insufficient - bbc.com - NEW
6. **IS families turned back from Syria** - 34 Australian/European women and children turned back from Roj camp - bbc.com - NEW

**MARKETS:**
Now I'm checking the current market data - Bitcoin's hovering around $68,786, major indices showing mixed movement with S&P and Dow slightly up while NASDAQ dips, gold at nearly $5k per ounce, and oil prices down slightly. There's also news about Metaplanet's significant profit recovery after a major Bitcoin loss last year, and the Fed's rate decision minutes coming this week which could move crypto markets.

**SCIENCE:**
Looking at the science stories - there's coverage of a supermassive black hole with unusual feeding patterns, SpaceX's lunar focus ahead of Mars plans, and an interesting piece about ancient bone evidence potentially confirming Hannibal's war elephants crossed the Alps. I'm checking whether that last story was already covered in previous briefings, scanning back through the URLs from earlier today to see if it's genuinely new.

Actually, I'm finding that the Hannibal bone story did appear in the Feb 16 briefing at 23:20 UTC, so that's already been reported. Let me look for other recent science coverage instead - there's older material from Reuters about Jupiter's size and NASA's Artemis delays, but I need to find what's actually fresh and hasn't made it into previous briefings yet. I'm also noting an interesting piece from the Docker blog about NanoClaw that came through Hacker News.

Going through what I've found, I can see several stories that appear to be genuinely new: the jeffgeerling piece on AI destroying open source from HN trending today, the freeflow GitHub voice transcription alternative also trending on HN, the Bluetooth privacy article from blog.dmcc.io with 297 points, the OpenAI Codex-Spark story on Cerebras chips, ChatGPT's new Lockdown Mode, and the Anthropic DoD supply chain risk reporting. There's also a different Bondi Beach shooting article from BBC that's separate from what's been covered before. The Navalny poisoning confirmation was already in the 23:20 briefing though, so that one doesn't count as new.

Continuing down the list, I'm seeing Venezuelan political prisoners from BBC as fresh, and while the Kenya airport strike appeared in Reuters world coverage earlier, it wasn't specifically listed as a BBC article at that time. The Epstein files story with AG criticism is new, as is the Australian IS families turned back piece. I'm also tracking the market data from Reuters covering S&P 500, gold, and Brent crude, plus some crypto-related items from coindesk about Metaplanet's profit rise and SVB's year-long crypto integration efforts. The Docker blog piece on NanoClaw in docker sandbox is another new one from HN today.

Now I need to dig into the science section to find something fresh since that's where I was heading when the list cut off. I found a new angle on the Navalny story—the dart frog toxin article detailing the epibatidine that killed him. Now I'm compiling what I have so far: three tech items including the viral Open Source piece, FreeFlow transcription tool, and the Bluetooth privacy article, plus three AI-related stories, and I need to keep building toward a diverse set of ten or more items. 68.52 - Reuters live data. Metaplanet's profits are up 81% in 2026 despite carrying a $650M unrealized loss on Bitcoin holdings. For the science section, I'm weighing a few options: the Navalny poison story about dart frog toxin, a supermassive black hole discovery from Reuters, or a Smithsonian piece on a 14-year-old's origami pattern that can support 10,000 times its own weight—that one's trending high on Hacker News. The origami story feels like the strongest pick for this slot.

I'm also noticing an arxiv paper about self-generated agent skills being useless that's dominating Hacker News today, which actually fits better under AI than science. So I'm reorganizing: keeping the tech section with the open source AI story, FreeFlow voice transcription tool, and Bluetooth privacy risks, then moving to AI with the Cerebras chip story, ChatGPT's lockdown mode, and that arxiv paper about agent skills.

For the global news, I've got the Bondi Beach court case with serious charges, the Epstein files criticism, and Australian IS families being turned back. Markets section covers the usual snapshot plus Metaplanet's surprising profit gains despite Bitcoin losses. And there's this fascinating story about a 14-year-old using origami patterns for emergency shelters that can support massive weight. I'm seeing the science category fills out with the origami shelter design and the research paper on agent skills. That gives me 13 total items across the five categories, which meets the minimum. But I need to check the constraint about not having more than 2 items on the same topic—let me verify each story is distinct and trim if there's any overlap. sure no topic has more than 2. Let me check:
- Open Source: 1 item (jeffgeerling - OpenClaw angle)
- Voice tools: 1 item (freeflow)
- Privacy: 1 item (bluetooth)
- OpenAI: 2 items (Codex-Spark + Lockdown Mode) - both OpenAI but different topics
- Anthropic: 1 item (DoD)
- Agent research: 1 item (arxiv)
- Australia: 1 item (Bondi)
- US politics: 1 item (Epstein)
- Geopolitical: 1 item (IS families or Venezuela)
- Markets: 1 item (snapshot)
- Crypto: 1 item (Metaplanet)
- Science: 1 item (origami)

The OpenAI items are distinct enough - one's about a new coding model on specialized hardware, the other's a security feature. Now I'm verifying that none of these URLs appeared in previous briefings, checking through the sources systematically. I'm completing those URLs and gathering the full links for the ChatGPT lockdown feature, the Smithsonian origami shelter article, Metaplanet's financial projections, and a Bluetooth privacy piece. I'm trying to track down the exact URL for The Verge's Anthropic DoD article, but since I don't have the direct link, I'll work with what I have and potentially use the Docker NanoClaw story instead. I should also add the arxiv paper to the science section and note that the Venezuelan political prisoners story is from BBC.

Now I'm finalizing the briefing with three tech stories: Jeff Geerling's viral post about AI destroying open source through GitHub spam and killed curl bounties, FreeFlow as an open-source voice-to-text alternative, and research on Bluetooth privacy risks.

For AI, I'm adding OpenAI's new coding model running on Cerebras chips that bypasses Nvidia bottlenecks, ChatGPT's new lockdown mode to prevent prompt injection attacks, and the Pentagon potentially flagging Anthropic as a supply chain risk over military AI disagreements.

Now moving through global news: the Bondi Beach shooting suspect facing 59 charges including 15 murders and a terrorism count, controversy around AG Pam Bondi's claims about releasing all Epstein files with lawmakers pushing back, and reports that hundreds of political prisoners remain detained in Venezuela despite US intervention efforts.

Looking at market data—the S&P holding steady around 6,836, gold climbing to nearly $5,000 an ounce, Bitcoin hovering around $68.7K, and Brent crude at $68.52. Also tracking Metaplanet's impressive 81% profit surge projected for 2026 despite carrying a $650 million unrealized loss on their Bitcoin holdings.

In science news, there's a 14-year-old origami prodigy whose folding patterns can support 10,000 times their own weight, and he's now applying this to emergency shelter design.

I've got 13 solid items with good coverage across markets, tech, and science. Now I need to format this into a clean message and get it sent out. Let me double-check the timestamp conversion—1:20 AM UTC on February 17th translates to 8:20 PM EST on February 16th. Feb 16. Hmm actually - let me recalculate. UTC 01:20 = EST UTC-5 = 8:20 PM... no wait: UTC-5 means we subtract 5 hours. 01:20 - 5 hours = 20:20 (8:20 PM) on Feb 16. So it's 8:20 PM EST Feb 16.

Wait but the cron message says "Current time: Tuesday, February 17th, 2026 — 1:20 AM (UTC)" - so that's 8:20 PM EST on Monday Feb 16.

So the briefing header should say: 📰 **Magoo Briefing** — 8:20 PM EST, Monday Feb 16, 2026

Let me compose the message and note the OpenClaw angle in the tech section. This is a major community story - the jeffgeerling article ties OpenClaw's creator being hired by OpenAI directly into both the open source concerns and the broader AI narrative.

Good data collected. Now let me verify a couple of URLs before composing:

As AI systems take on more complex tasks—especially those that involve the web and connected apps—the security stakes change.
One emerging risk has become especially important: [prompt injection](https://openai.com/index/prompt-injections/). In these attacks, a third party attempts to mislead a conversational AI system into following malicious instructions or revealing sensitive information.
Today, we’re introducing two new protections designed to help users and organizations mitigate prompt injection attacks, with clearer visibility into risk and stronger controls:

- Lockdown Mode in ChatGPT, an advanced, optional security setting for higher-risk users
- “Elevated Risk” labels for certain capabilities in ChatGPT, ChatGPT Atlas, and Codex that may introduce additional risk

## Helping organizations protect employees most at-risk of cyberattacks

Lockdown Mode is an optional, advanced security setting designed for a small set of highly security-conscious users—such as executives or security teams at prominent organizations—who require increased protection against advanced threats. It is not necessary for most users. Lockdown Mode tightly constrains how ChatGPT can interact with external systems to reduce the risk of prompt injection–based data exfiltra
