Souls lined up and I counted out their sins.

1. One Manhattan power room canceled 1,174 flights in 1991
2. Hidden trigger words made a service robot try to slice a hand instead of an apple
3. 50,000 fake stats, cited by ChatGPT, ended up in an academic paper and a bank’s investment research
4. Plants actively steer away from rotting neighbors
5. Why American cities stopped requiring fire escapes — and what replaced them
6. A 1970s cardiac squeeze-cuff therapy may improve Alzheimer’s memory
