A Spanish-language chatbot audit service uses hundreds of simulated customers to expose contradictory instructions, invented answers, excessive discounts, and missed sales.

Why it surfaced

Its demonstrations are unusually concrete: one simulated customer pressures a bot into exceeding its discount limit, another gets an invented shipping quote, and a third receives good advice but no attempt to close the sale. SYNTHETYPE’s sharpest argument is that the expensive failures are often not obvious hallucinations, but conflicts between instructions that each sound reasonable on their own.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
