LLMs train on popular misinformation, not statutory truth. Every major model failed OBBBA tests, hallucinating tax deductions and creating enterprise audit liability.

When Japan raised rates 0.25%, triggering a 7.7% Yen appreciation, the multi-trillion dollar carry trade unwound violently. The Nikkei plunged 12.4% -- worst since Black Monday 1987. The VIX spiked 180% pre-market from a quote-based anomaly, feeding flawed volatility data into thousands of automated sell algorithms.

Klarna's mid-2025 reversal proved the replacement mindset is fundamentally flawed. Cost savings from automating 80% of tasks were destroyed by failing the critical 20% that drives brand reputation and financial liability for a $14.6B company.

AI migrated COBOL with perfect syntax but missed variable definitions. Type mismatches corrupted database on deployment. Lost in middle syndrome caused production failures.

Apple's June 2020 update introduced a secondary form that broke the dispute pipeline. Tens of thousands of valid Billing Error Notices under TILA were silently dropped. Neither company investigated, and consumers were held liable for unauthorized charges they had already reported.

Earnest used Cohort Default Rates -- a school-level metric correlating with race due to HBCU underfunding -- as a weighted subscore. Combined with knockout rules auto-denying non-green-card applicants, the algorithm hard-coded inequity. Even controlling for income and DTI, Black applicants at Navy Federal were 2x more likely to be denied.

Attackers manufactured a reality indistinguishable from truth using AI-generated deepfakes of a CFO and boardroom executives on a live video call. No malware or credential theft was needed. When a face and voice can be fabricated for $15 in 45 minutes, traditional trust signals are broken.
