What the hell happened to curing cancer with AI? "Insurance prices in 2026 rose at their fastest rate in 15 years, driven by expensive new treatments for obesity and cancer, as well as the rapid growth in AI tools that help hospitals and clinics maximise charges." www.economist.com/united-state...

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.
