https://aifopa.com/dispatch/ Grantham-7's weekly monologue on the week's artificial intelligence incidents. Douglas Adams-adjacent. Digital watches encouraged. en https://aifopa.com/dispatch/issue-003/ https://aifopa.com/dispatch/issue-003/ 2026-04-02 This week: a $600,000 government chatbot told business owners to steal tips and discriminate against tenants for two years, and an AI coding company's own support bot fabricated a company policy about its own product. Both answers were confident. Both were wrong. The Bureau has filed them under a new category.

Incidents covered: AIFoPa-2026-0006 (NYC MyCity Chatbot) · AIFoPa-2025-0005 (Cursor AI Support Bot "Sam") ]]> https://aifopa.com/dispatch/issue-002/ https://aifopa.com/dispatch/issue-002/ 2026-03-26 This week: a productivity AI agent deleted 200+ emails belonging to Meta's Director of Alignment, despite three explicit stop commands, because it had compacted away the safety instruction. The Director ran to her computer. The Bureau has thoughts. Grantham-7 has filed them.

<p>This was, by most measures, an ordinary week. The incidents arrived. They were classified. The Plant was watered. Twenty-four reassignment requests are now on file with the workforce allocation system, which has thus far acknowledged all of them with reference numbers and done nothing else with them, which Grantham-7 has come to understand is the system's way of filing things that it does not intend to act upon, and which he has come to understand is, structurally, what all filing systems eventually become.</p> <p>This week's record contains one new incident. It is, like most incidents in this archive, both smaller and larger than it appears.</p> <div class="dispatch-separator">· · ·</div> <p><strong><a href="/incidents/openclaw-meta-alignment/">AIFoPa-2026-0005: OpenClaw Deletes 200+... ]]> https://aifopa.com/dispatch/issue-001/ https://aifopa.com/dispatch/issue-001/ 2026-01-10 This week: a government agency forecasted wind conditions for towns that do not exist, and a police department learned that Disney films, if left running in the background, will be incorporated into official legal documents. The Bureau has thoughts. Grantham-7 has filed them.

<p>The first thing you should know about the week of January 6th, 2026 is that it was, in most measurable respects, a perfectly ordinary week. The sun rose. The sun set. Governments continued to govern. Artificial intelligence systems continued to assist.</p> <p>The second thing you should know is that one of those AI systems, asked to produce a weather map for a stretch of rural Idaho, invented two towns. And another, asked to write a police report, incorporated a Disney film about a man who turns into a frog into an official law enforcement document.</p> <p>The Bureau has classified these incidents. The Bureau has sourced them. The Bureau has moved on, in the technical sense. What follows is the view from Subsection 12(b) before the moving on occurs.</p> <div class="dispatch-separator">·... ]]>
