When AI turns deadly, who's responsible? This week we explore how a simple "vibe coding" project led to an app generating lethal recipes like cyanide ice cream – highlighting the terrifying lack of safety guardrails in our rush to AI innovation.
Meanwhile, financial technology continues its troubling evolution as Swedish firm Klarna partners with DoorDash to offer "Buy Now, Pay Later" options for your food delivery. We break down why financing basic necessities creates a mathematical trap that keeps consumers perpetually indebted, despite the sunny marketing spin about "helping" during inflation.
The AI power struggle intensifies as OpenAI countersues Elon Musk with accusations of "bad faith tactics" while Musk claims the company abandoned its nonprofit mission. With a trial date set for March 2026, these Silicon Valley titans will continue their public battle for AI supremacy long after potential damage has been done.
Perhaps most alarming was watching how a single false post on X triggered a $2.4 trillion market swing before being debunked. Major news outlets amplified misinformation from an account with just 1,000 followers, demonstrating how fragile our information ecosystem has become.
Our popular "Letters" segment exposes increasingly sophisticated phishing attempts targeting everything from business credit applications to cryptocurrency accounts, while our security expert shares how companies are now using secret code words during video conferences to combat deep fake technology.
