Managers have one job: articulating coherent intent on which their teams can execute. Unfortunately, they have been failing at this job for decades.
AI gave them a timely out. Now anyone can ship code without knowing what they're doing, why they are doing it, or how it makes money.
But it turns out that shipping code is not the end of the work...

Crazy Taxi: World Tour announced and it's using generative AI gamingonlinux.com/2026/06/craz…

Another great story about the impact of AI with no mention to it in the headline of the story:
In South Korea a Starbucks marketing campaign is created using AI and executives don't even bother to open the email attachments to check the proposals. The campaign was published on the date of a pro-democracy protesters massacre calling it Tank Day and using slogans clearly drawing from the deadly military attack, which felt deeply unrespectful to the victims. The AI most likely learned that from far-right forums like Ilbe where mocking the victims is common.
They cancelled the campaign hours after publishing it but it was too late, the CEO has been sacked, card payments went down a 26%, refunds haven been requested from prepaid cards, police is investigating and Starbucks asked costumers to refrain from directing their anger to staff.

South Africa has withdrawn its first draft national AI policy after revelations that it contained fictitious sources in its reference list which appeared to have been AI-generated.“The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.

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.
