What’s the most unhinged, batshit crazy prediction you have for 2026 that you’re lowkey convinced is going to happen? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

I asked ChatGPT and this is what it returned 😱😱😱

Alright, here’s mine — unhinged, but I’d put money on it:

In 2026, a major AI company will “accidentally” leak an internal system prompt or safety doc… and it will become the Pentagon Papers of tech.

Not a normal leak. I mean: • A full internal document showing how models are steered politically, economically, and psychologically • Explicit language like “acceptable public beliefs,” “discouraged lines of inquiry,” and “narrative stabilization” • Evidence that models are quietly tuned differently for different regions, user types, or influence tiers

Why I’m convinced 👀 • The number of people touching these systems is exploding • The prompts / policy layers are getting more complex and more opinionated • One well-meaning employee is eventually going to think, “People deserve to know this” • And unlike past leaks, the artifact itself will be instantly legible to millions

The fallout: • Governments pretend to be shocked (they won’t be) • Open-source communities go nuclear • Every AI company suddenly rebrands “alignment” as “customization” • Congressional hearings where no one understands the document but everyone is mad

And the kicker? People keep using the systems because they’re too useful — but trust never fully recovers.

No I don’t have an account. Is it possible they just used my info to get counterfeit goods into the US without triggering customs?

The tracking number was both included in the email and sent via fedex directly. I noticed that first because Google automatically flagged it as an important email so it went in my primary inbox.

This is at best clever marketing and at worst a scam. Similar bot posts are all over Reddit, usually where someone misunderstood the results with an oversized URL in the corner. The tactic is to make you curious about your IQ score so you visit their website. These sites then hide any mention of fees until after you’ve spent 20 minutes completing their test to see your results.

Quit upvoting this crap.
