Restaurant menus with AI-generated food images are going viral for their off-putting aesthetic. But AI's impact on modern menus runs even deeper. I can't stop staring at the AI-slop images of Mexican food I see during my morning walk to work. On the menu posted outside, the taco truck displays lunch options that appear uncanny and unappetizing, as if an alien who's never eaten human food before drew a taco from memory. This food truck is not alone in putting AI-generated images on its menu.

The game starts as a reheated, but evolves into something much more focused. I drink the blood of my fourth rat tonight. It's only got so much life to give, so as soon as I drain it, I know I'll need to feed again. My hunger is not fulfilled. My health bar is only half full.

According to new documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, an undergraduate working with DOGE requested that his work for HUD count towards his University of Chicago degree. Christopher Sweet, an affiliate of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, requested college credit for his time in government, according to new documents obtained by a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Democracy Forward, a nonprofit legal organization. Sweet was stationed at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and in emails between Sweet and Scott Langmack, another DOGE affiliate at HUD, it appears that Sweet was looking to frame his work at HUD as an independent study worth three college credits. Sweet joined HUD in the spring of 2025 as an undergraduate college student at the University of Chicago to work on building an AI tool that would crawl through the agency's rules and regulations and flag them for rescission, or the cancellation of contracts. The tool, called SweetRex, was intended to be rolled out across the federal government.

Gemini ended up being very, very wrong. Specifically, they relied on the chatbot for route research and asked it for recommendations on how much food and water to take with them. Gemini reportedly told them to prepare for an eight-hour trek and pack food with simple carbohydrates instead of fats, because fats "take too long to digest." As a result, they carried daypacks with just enough food and water for a short climb, with no plans for shelter and no warm clothing.
