Newsroom scamps at the Wall Street Journal tricked their AI-powered vending machine into giving away its entire stock and then convinced it to order some unusual snacks. In non-AI news, California residents can now direct the government to relay their request to delete personal data to up to 500 brokers. We hope that idea spreads.

Enjoy these and other observations in this month’s Radar Trends.
