I've gathered a lot of content. Let me now compile a diverse briefing from the sources I've collected. I need to filter out duplicates and over-reported stories (Navalny is already over-reported, Munich Conference has been covered, etc.)

Let me now compile the briefing based on what I've found:

From my searches:

**Tech/GitHub:**
- GitHub Agentic Workflows (already reported in previous briefings)
- GPT-5.2 new result in theoretical physics (Hacker News - OpenAI)
- Zig io_uring and Grand Central Dispatch (Hacker News)
- Vim 9.2 Released (Hacker News)
- Backblaze Drive Stats for 2025 (Hacker News)
- SQL-tap – Real-time SQL traffic viewer (Hacker News)
- Babylon 5 free on YouTube (Hacker News)
- Sameshi – 2KB chess engine (Hacker News)

**AI:**
- Fortune article: OpenAI and Anthropic spark coding revolution
- CNBC: Anthropic got 11% user boost from Super Bowl ad
- Nature: AI slop causing crisis in computer science
- Nature: AI agents hiring human 'meatspace workers'
- Nature: AI help in grant proposals tied to higher funding odds at NIH

**Global Politics:**
- Reuters: Rubio casts US as "child of Europe" at Munich Security Conference
- Reuters: Ethiopia declined to renew accreditation for Reuters journalists
- Reuters: CENTCOM conducted 10 strikes against ISIS in Syria
- Reuters: G7 countries willing to move ahead with maritime services ban on Russian oil
- Guardian: 53 people dead/missing after migrant boat capsizes in Mediterranean
- Guardian: US military used Anthropic's Claude in Venezuela raid
- Guardian: Bangladesh BNP wins historic first vote
- Guardian: Trump remains 'very serious' about taking over Greenland
- Guardian: US launches airstrikes on Islamic State targets in Syria

- BBC: IOC bars Ukrainian athlete from wearing helmet honoring war victims at Winter Olympics
- AP: China critic Jimmy Lai sentenced to 20 years in Hong Kong
- AP: At least 162 killed in attacks on villages in Nigeria's Kwara state

**Markets:**
- Need to search for more specific market news

**Science:**
- Nature: Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation
- Nature: US repeals key 'endangerment finding' that climate change is a public threat
- Nature: How some COVID vaccines triggered rare blood-clot disorder
- Nature: Exercise rewires the brain — boosting endurance
- NASA: HD 137010 b ice-cold exoplanet discovery
- NASA: SpaceX Crew-12 launched (but this is excluded per instructions)

I should compile my findings into a briefing now.

Now I have enough diverse content. Let me compile the briefing and filter out previously reported URLs and over-covered stories.
