[cron:2b05c350-dbfd-4f34-af01-133b602ee818 Magoo News Pulse] Scan for new trending GitHub projects (agentic AI, OpenClaw), AI news (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta), and top political developments. If no significant updates in the last 20 mins, stay silent. Otherwise, provide briefheadlines with [Source Link].
Current time: Friday, February 13th, 2026 — 12:00 PM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.


The user wants me to scan for news across several categories:
1. Trending GitHub projects (agentic AI, OpenClaw)
2. AI news (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta)
3. Political developments

I should do web searches for these topics, focusing on recent updates. Let me search for each category.

I got the GitHub trending page which shows some interesting repos. Let me also check Reddit for OpenClaw discussions and try to get some news from other sources. The AI news fetch didn't get the actual articles - just the category page. Let me try different sources.

The first couple of nights were frustrating — I'd give it a task, it would do one thing, then just stop. No iteration, no follow-up. Basically an expensive one-shot prompt.\n\nDay 4, I finally cracked it. Woke up this morning to a progress log full of completed tasks I didn't touch. Here's the setup that made it work.\n\n**Three files and one tool. That's it.**\n\n**1.** [**Soul.md**](http://Soul.md) **— The brain**\n\nThis is where all the instructions live. I wrote a decision loop for it to follow on repeat:\n\nBuild → Test → Log → Decide\n\nIt sounds simple, but this is the part that was missing before. Without explicit instructions to keep going, the agent just… doesn't. It finishes one thing and waits for you. [Soul.md](http://Soul.md) tells it what to do when tests pass, what to do when they fail, and when to stop.\n\n**2.** [**Todo.md**](http://Todo.md) **— The task list**\n\nBefore I go to sleep, I hand it one big task. It breaks that down into smaller pieces and puts them in Todo.md. As it works through the night, it updates the status of each task. The key part: when it finishes a task and realizes there's follow-up work, it spawns new tasks and adds them to the list. So one task might turn into three or four by morning.\n\n**3.** [**Progress-log.md**](http://Progress-log.md) **— The journal**\n\nEvery time it builds and tests something, it logs what it did, whether it passed or failed, and what it learned. This is how I know what happened overnight without having to ask. I just open the file in the morning and read through everything.\n\n**4. Cron jobs — The safety net**\n\nThis is the part that made it reliable. I set up three cron jobs at 2:00am, 4:00am, and 6:00am. Each one wakes the agent up, tells it to read through [Todo.md](http://Todo.md), and check if there are any jobs left. If there are, it picks up where it left off. If not, it reports back and sleeps.\n\nBefore I added these, the agent would occasionally stall out mid-task and just sit there until I noticed. The cron jobs act like an alarm clock — worst case, it's only idle for two hours before getting nudged.\n\nThis is what I got now and I am pretty sure there are better ways to do it. Feel free to discuss under this post! \n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/3m90bfak56jg1.png?width=5042&format=png&auto=webp&s=49eec56e27bf4f4b4e2937b018af1229163fbd84\n\n",

Artificial intelligence is more a part of our lives than ever before. While some might call it hype and compare it to NFTs or 3D TVs, generative AI is causing a sea change in nearly every part of the technology industry. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is still the best-known AI chatbot around, but with Google pushing Gemini, Microsoft building Copilot, and Apple adding its Intelligence to Siri, AI is probably going to be in the spotlight for a very long time. At The Verge, we’re exploring what might be possible with AI — and a lot of the bad stuff AI does, too.

Meta sold 7 million smart glasses in 2025 — that’s triple 2023 and 2024 combined.
Remember when [EssilorLuxottica said it sold 2 million](/news/613292/meta-ray-ban-2-million-10-million-capacity-subscription-essilor-luxottica-earnings) and would hit 10 million a year by 2027? 10M seems well within reach. “In 2025, we sold more than 7 million units of AI glasses, posting exponential growth,” said CEO Francesco Milleri. Prices may stay high in the short term, though, they hinted [on the earnings call](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ESLOF/earnings/ESLOF-H2-2025-earnings_call-400550.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHMBB9Up079_7bhOcpts7hQzpG3r2eaSDUdlViy_4MAfcRTKjFBVVYuT9Td5q9vHs0E-gM9NmWoIoNNFQd0c3nFeutn-6S2tCAqvx59XTlAKGUdQcpTkArmV_meEhCCfRKk2g0FQXL0vL1YFTWyVLVOQwSG-RYIARscllaRWOZuv).

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman [seems to think](https://www.ft.com/content/f1ec830c-2f08-4b1a-b70f-7330f260753c) AI will be ready to replace most white-collar work within two years — presumably not including his own, of course. He also claimed more of [Microsoft’s own AI models](/news/767809/microsoft-in-house-ai-models-launch-openai) are due this year.
“White-collar work, where you’re sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person — most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months.”

For the past year, the [Times has been using LLMs](https://www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/how-the-new-york-times-uses-a-custom-ai-tool-to-track-the-manosphere/) to create what’s internally known as the “Manosphere Report,” according to Nieman Lab. The AI-generated reports include episode transcripts and summaries for around 80 primarily right-wing podcasts, including the Ben Shapiro Show, Red Scare, and The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.

Ex-OpenAI researcher has “deep reservations” about its approach to ads.
In an [op-ed for The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/opinion/openai-ads-chatgpt.html), Zoë Hitzig, a researcher who left OpenAI this week, expresses concerns about the company’s move to [put ads in ChatGPT](/ai-artificial-intelligence/876029/openai-testing-ads-in-chatgpt), while posing alternatives to a setup that could potentially harm users down the line:
So the real question is not ads or no ads. It is whether we can design structures that avoid both excluding people from using these tools, and potentially manipulating them as consumers. I think we can.

OpenAI’s first hardware slips to 2027.
We’d heard its [devices could arrive this year](/news/781854/openai-chatgpt-hardware-rumors-smart-speaker-glasses-pin), but in a court filing OpenAI vice president Peter Welinder said they won’t reach customers before March 2027.
The case is a trademark infringement suit from audio startup iyO, which sued after OpenAI [bought Jony Ive’s company io](/news/671838/openai-jony-ive-ai-hardware-apple) — Welinder confirmed OpenAI has no plans to use the io name for its hardware.

EU tells Meta to let other AIs back on WhatsApp.
The European Commission has [weighed in](https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_310) on the November decision to [block the likes of ChatGPT and Copilot](/news/829808/chatgpt-copilot-ai-llm-leaving-whatsapp-meta) from WhatsApp, and thinks it violates EU antitrust laws. It’s surprisingly fast for the organization, which called the issue “urgent” because of the risk of “irreparable” damage to competition in the nascent AI industry.

2026 AI investments will cost more than the Moon landing.
Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet are planning to spend $670 billion on AI infrastructure this year, more than some of the biggest capital efforts in US history [by percentage of gross domestic product](https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-spending-tech-companies-compared-02b90046?mod=rss_Technology). It’s dwarfed only by the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the US.
