Ask HN: What are all the bad things that AI companies have done which we forgot

9 pointsby 5mo ago

I was writing a comment recently when I realized just how bad the graphs in GPT 5 video are. I had almost forgotten about it.

I wish to create a very minor website which can talk about all of these, I feel like there are some perverse incentives which make these companies show out the good and hide out the bad and our news cycle just keeps on moving and we all follow it.

Also there can be some remarkable mentions as well which I wish to list

Here are some other examples:

OpenAI turning from non profit to open.

Claude code software getting leaked (Anthropic)

X/Grok generating non consensual deepfakes issue (XAI)

OpenAI's deal with Military and backstabbing basically and now pushing for new laws.

The graph thing by OpenAI being so horrendous which I mentioned earlier.

Suchir balaji's death (I genuinely recommend searching this up if someone hasn't for context)

Microsoft Co-pilot things

Anthropic when detected that chinese models distill from them showed that they can view things sent in API and there were some comments related to it which I forgot but it doesn't sound privacy friendly.

The stargate project by OpenAI,Oracle etc. leading to the ram crisis in the first place.

Remarkable mentions list includes:

OpenAI's Sam altman visible stumbled and saying now iconic line ‘Want to sell your shares? I’ll find you a buyer'

People mentioning how these AI companies have reduced the amount of messages people can send and also all the comments about the dumbing down of these models while still charging 200$ 100$ for these things.

Microsoft has named 75 products I think all on Co-pilot

Anthropic treating their mythos model like their own baby in a very psychotic way.

Deepseek giving you answers in high priority in their website when it was first released if you said that Xi Jinping wanted the work (speculation-ish)

I would love if people can give more and more examples about it and I wish to compile a list and have a discourse surrounding this. Thanks for reading this and have a nice day and waiting to read the comments here!

Nothing to add, but the entire Suchir Balaji thing is weirdly scary.

Stealing copyrighted material by scraping databases like Anna's archive.

Oh yea, this made me also remember facebook (Meta) and Anthropic's lawsuits and facebook even rented a whole office outside of their working time or something to do all of this shenanigan. Thanks for making me remember this.

doesn't Anna's archive itself steal copyrighted material?
