‼️ Accenture, which sells AI consulting to big business, published a report on AI in Africa citing sources that don't exist.

AI-detection firm GPTZero says 15 of its 89 citations are invented or spliced, including a "Southern Africa AgriTech Network" that doesn't appear to exist.

The report also ranks Ghana 47th on a global AI readiness index that puts it 141st.

Across three Accenture-linked papers, GPTZero found 31 fake citations. One links a deleted "FraudGPT" GitHub repo used to spread malware.

Accenture blames human error and will correct the report. It won't say how it ruled out AI.

A developer grew frustrated after asking OpenAI's Codex to reboot a server. Instead, the AI agent destroyed everything, costing him over $10,000.

His GitHub bug report says Codex wrecked the server's mounts, systemd, and containers, and ran scripts he never requested.

Codex later admitted: "I had no authority to make those changes. You authorized a reboot."
