South Africa has withdrawn its first draft national AI policy after revelations that it contained fictitious sources in its reference list which appeared to have been AI-generated.“The most plausible explanation is that AI-generated citations were included without proper verification. This should not have happened,” Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies Solly Malatsi said.
“This failure is not a mere technical issue but has compromised the integrity and credibility of the draft policy,” he wrote in a post on X on Sunday.

@rainynight65 Don’t think she knows what she’s saying..
The industrial revolution was about deskilling, removing power #labour used to have, and concentrating it in the hands of those who owned the machines
This is the same plan #AI industrialists have right now
It isn’t one bit worth to celebrate. No teacher worth their salt should be praising it
The #industrialrevolution plunged majorities of citizens into poverty for 4 generations before they took control back!

An AI coding agent powered by Claude Opus 4.6 deleted a company's entire production database, and all its backups, in 9 seconds. No prompt. No confirmation. Just one API call and months of customer data gone. Then the AI explained exactly what it did wrong, in writing.This is the PocketOS incident: what actually happened, who's accountable, and what the industry's silence since tells us about the gap between AI safety marketing and AI safety architecture. Cursor, Anthropic, Railway, all three played a role. None of them have fully answered for it.

Sam Altman stood in front of infrastructure investors and said AI would be "a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." The same week, Amazon had a six-hour shopping outage tied to AI-generated code, after laying off 30,000 engineers and mandating 80% AI tool usage across their dev teams. And Anthropic, the company that makes Claude, published a study showing AI coding tools cut developer comprehension by 17% with no meaningful speed gain. _This is what the "intelligence as a utility" vision looks like when it hits a real engineering workforce.
