In an [interview with *The Sun*](), 28-year-old Grace Springer insisted she wasn't trying to cause any trouble when she posted the kiss cam footage of Andy Byron, the CEO of the AI data analytics firm Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's HR head. Still, she's not exactly apologetic either. As the young woman attests, she had "no idea who the couple was" when she captured in her now-infamous video, and only posted it because she "caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam." https://www.twitter.com/BlanckDigital/status/1945950676816744803 Indeed, as the video shows, the extramarital pair were seemingly enjoying the show — and each other — when they appeared on the jumbotron, causing both to hide their faces, and Byron to comically duck out of view entirely. "Either they’re having an affair," Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin intoned as the drama unfolded in real time, "or they’re very shy." ## False Fallout Soon after Springer posted the video to TikTok, [both executives were named and shamed online]() — and Byron's apparent wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, deleted her married name from her Facebook page before deactivating, [*Newsweek* reports](). "A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but play stupid games... win stupid prizes," Springer told the tabloid of the fallout. While it remains unclear what's happening in either Byron or Cabot's personal lives, given that both are married with children and presumably not practitioners of ethical nonmonogamy, it initially appeared that the CEO had apologized for the embarrassing incident — but his company called bull. In statements [to the *New York Post*]() and [*TMZ*](), a spokesperson for the AI company said the apology purporting to be from Byron that circulated online after the video went viral was a forgery. (As [folks noted online](), the statement had been posted by an account purporting to be a *CBS* reporter named "Peter Enis," whose initials would, idiotically, be "P. Enis.") For the video's original poster, meanwhile, the entire debacle will hopefully prove to have some value beyond prurient interest. "I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise," Springer told *The Sun*. **More on viral AI:** [*Restaurant Uses AI for Menu, Accidentally Describes Appetizer in Way So Disgusting That We May Never Recover*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
