“I swallowed some of it. I had really been spitting it out near the end.”
The Nation interviewed Graham Granger, the student arrested for consuming part of an exhibit of AI-generated art — although apparently he didn’t eat everything he chewed up.
Do you have any qualms about the fact that AI art is made by scraping other artists?
Yeah, I mean, that’s part of why I spat it out, because AI chews up and spits out art made by other people.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with just unlocking a door and opening it.”
Hell Gate investigates a new NYC phenomenon: PureGym’s tubelike automated “entry pods”.
“What the fuck? I literally don’t want to do this,” one man remarked, before putting his whole body into the tube. “It’s like a bad sci-fi show, it’s ridiculous!” another man exclaimed, while—you guessed it—he succumbed to the tube.

Large language mistake, legal edition.
Cool update to last week’s story on why language doesn’t equal intelligence: a Michigan judge cited it to justify imposing sanctions over a ChatGPT-assisted filing that mentioned real cases but misstated their facts. Congrats to author Benjamin Riley, and thanks to folks who pointed it out on X and Bluesky!

A new report says the White House intervened to help Andrew Tate.
ProPublica writes that Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia — the White House’s Department of Homeland Security liaison — told customs officials to return devices they’d seized from the influencer and alleged rapist and sex trafficker, possibly hindering an investigation and alarming DHS officials, who described the act as “handing out favors” to Tate.
