Tell me some recent news showing downsides and dangers of AI

Hi, I was asked to do a presentation on AI and I want to maximize "anti-hype". What are the most dystopic, cyberpunk, horrifying AI news of the past year or so?

I want to structure it in an "Iceberg" format: start with something benign (AI Stoopid LOL) and progressively get darker to eventually land on a banger.

So far, I've considered the following:

• Bullshit benchmark - https://petergpt.github.io/bullshit-benchmark/viewer/index.v2.html

• Carwash te*st - https://opper.ai/blog/car-wash-test

• Anthropic standing up to DoD - https://www.axios.com/2026/02/24/anthropic-pentagon-claude-hegseth-dario (there's lot to unpack in this whole story, with OpenAI jumping in, etc.)

• Openclaw - there are so many stories to choose from. I find these particularly damning:

  • Meta Alignment director's inbox got deleted - https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/openclaw-wipes-inbox-of-meta-ai-alignment-director-executive-finds-out-the-hard-way-how-spectacularly-efficient-ai-tool-is-at-maintaining-her-inbox
  • The whole Scott Shambaugh hit-piece saga - https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-me-part-3/

• Microslop Copilot - https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-really-wants-you-to-stop-calling-ai-slop-in-2026

• Google Antigravity stealing passwords - https://www.promptarmor.com/resources/google-antigravity-exfiltrates-data

• DeepSeek generating vulnerable code based on context - https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/blog/crowdstrike-researchers-identify-hidden-vulnerabilities-ai-coded-software/

• RAMpocalypse - https://www.mooreslawisdead.com/post/sam-altman-s-dirty-dram-deal

• Meta evaluating employees based on AI usage - https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-ai-employee-performance-review-overhaul-2025-11

• AI music overload - https://newsroom-deezer.com/2026/04/ai-generated-tracks-represent-44-of-new-uploaded-music/

Other topics I have not yet covered thoroughly:

• The sheer amount of AI Slop - Shrimp Jesus, Brainrot, Fruit Love Island, White House propaganda slop,

• Claude Mythos, Project Glasswing and the zero day explosion - something about the future of cybersec...

• Also, I would like some juicy examples of prompt injection in the wild.
