Moonwell loses $1.78M after AI-generated code from Claude Opus 4.6 causes oracle pricing error
DeFi lending protocol Moonwell lost $1.78 million after an oracle pricing error in smart contract code partially written by Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 model. The error valued cbETH at approximately $1.12 per token instead of its actual market price of nearly $2,200, triggering instant liquidations. Moonwell contained the issue by reducing the cbETH borrow cap, but users suffered catastrophic losses. The incident has sparked debate about the risks of AI-generated code in smart contracts.

Google AI Overviews hallucinates Airbus involvement in Air India crash
Google's AI Overviews feature generated incorrect search results claiming that a fatal Air India crash involved an Airbus A330, when the aircraft was actually a Boeing 787. The error was spotted by a Reddit user and reported by Ars Technica. Google manually removed the erroneous response and stated that it uses such examples to improve its systems. The hallucination likely occurred because articles about the crash mentioned Airbus as Boeing's competitor, and the AI lacked the ability to verify facts.
