Ask HN: 1 year from today what will have been the worst behavior from AI corps?

3•keepamovin•6h ago
For example, let's say it came out that AI corps were, say:

- deliberately poisoning system prompts to obstruct development of AI-adjacent, possibly competitive tools, or

- 'fixing the game' with secret system prompts to ensure you endlessly circled the correct solution while never actually solving it, a kind of "Netflix-ization" of "always another episode" payoff withholding, to get you on the hook for more tokens, slot machine style.

These are just two random examples that occurred to me (likely out of some sci-fi dystopian novella floating in the aether that i picked up on).

But what do you think the bad news is gonna be 1 year from now? What is the worst they are going to be discovered doing?

Or will it be all good? Let's hope so!

The indifference is the worst part for me.

AI summaries killing the independent web? Meh. AI used to generate and spread disinformation? As long as we get views. AI deepfakes used to bully people on X? Try to stop us and see what the US government will do to you.

AI is changing society, in many ways for the worse, and nobody wants to stop them because their Christmas bonuses, ETFs and the entire economy rely on shoving it in as many things as possible.

Can’t you already see the paper clip maximizer?

I like the way you write. Can you point me at a blog or something else you’ve done? it’s good stuff.
