Bot Gaffe tracks AI disasters, from Claude Code deleting a Mac's Library folder
SuB8u · x · 2026-11-11
SuB8u launched Bot Gaffe / Bot Kudos, sites collecting AI failures and wins. Recent entries: an OpenAI Dot agent that spammed 300 emails during an office move without booking movers; a Claude Code session that deleted an entire /Library folder after xargs split a path at a space (unconfirmed, permissions skipped); and trafficked girls in Nigeria rescued after one used WhatsApp AI to reach anti-trafficking officials. The sites log both sides of AI: rogue agents and genuine rescues.
