This story by @winterjessica.bsky.social is as good as everyone says it is www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Steven Adler used to lead product safety at OpenAI. On this week’s episode of The Big Interview, he talks about what AI users should know about their bots. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...

Yes good

"My father remained at the Texas detention center until October. During those six months, he went completely blind in one eye and lost most of the vision in the other, because he wasn’t receiving adequate medical care for his Type 2 diabetes."

The key question I had for Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who provides his powerful tech to ICE and Israeli military: at what point does misuse of your product make you end such relationships? Hear his answers on this and much more www.wired.com/story/alex-k...

guys idk why i agreed to go to a live group roleplay where we acted as fifth graders who got tingly asmr lice checks but it happened and i lived to tell the tale (you’re welcome). for @wired.com

Another educated and well-read smart guy who has tricked himself into believing he innately knows better than everyone else. The way he keeps using the word "derivative" in a fatuously quasi-mathematical way is the biggest tell.

This interview, from @stevenlevy.bsky.social, is insane www.wired.com/story/alex-k...

ICYMI

Trump sure does look unpopular. Welp, time to cave to each of his insane demands

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

very cool that my zohran fandom take is in this list :-) nymag.com/intelligence...

There are like 50 violent videos like this on my feed right now, each more insane than the last. Sickening

To the extent that there is concern, in good faith or bad about WIRED's ability to hold power to account, I can only say you should look at wired.com (just relaunched the homepage!). We all will miss @jakelahut.writes.news; whatever is happening on corporate level has nothing to do with our work

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

Jake did tremendous work at WIRED and I'm really going to miss working with him every day.

This is completely inaccurate and reckless. WIRED remains entirely committed to politics coverage and investigative reporting, with full support from our parent company.

ICE tortured this man to death

ICE is a team sport for guys who would otherwise be school shooters

Incredible reporting from @carolinehaskins.bsky.social about a school Mark Zuckerberg opened on his Palo Alto compound and operated for years with no permits, permissions, anything at all

Thinking a lot today about this great @noahshachtman.bsky.social expose of the ADL from a few months back. nymag.com/intelligence...

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district. #ice #chicago

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

Big morning after for everyone who calls their dad “baba”

It’s another day. Are you passing the Ms Rachel test?

His shortest tweet?

First post is not mayor POV btw

New York’s new mayor is also WIRED’s new cover.

great day to be @hellgatenyc.com subscriber 👍

The president who hosted Nick Fuentes for dinner

For over a decade, Gaza Sky Geeks was a model for how tech could transform Gaza. Just days after October 7, its office was blown to pieces by an Israeli airstrike. Now, with a tentative ceasefire in place, it’s trying to rebuild. Read our new feature from @mohamhawish.bsky.social & Aseel Mousa:

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

The headlines -- "Nepal chooses new government on Discord" were a bit baffling. How do you DO that? @wired.com goes inside the revolution, to see how a small group of disaffected Gen Z citizens brought a regime to its knees in days www.wired.com/story/nepal-...

That @katie-drummond.bsky.social plays a twisted game of fuck, marry, kill with me. Respect. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...

Really interesting story about how Mamdani campaign used "staging hosts" to help scale canvassing work -- which had the added benefit of getting people to talk to each other www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

"[Chicago mom] Andrea Soria... overheard her 6-year-old whisper to her dolls: 'We have to be good or ICE will get us.'" apnews.com/article/chic...

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

For one of my final stories with @wired.com, I teamed up with @peggylowe.bsky.social at KCUR to dig through a Kansas City, KS police hack Inside were some of the most disturbing misconduct files I’ve ever read—and a secret list of cops the department said couldnt be trusted Here are a few of them:

ICYMI: We published a package of 17 stories about AI, with the idea that we are not waiting for it anymore. AI arrived, and it is changing us in ways we might never truly understand www.wired.com/ai-issue/

All that room in the headline and the post to tell us who shot him and yet...

100k+ volunteers on the street

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Utah. Mother of 4. Here since 2007.

Like all of WIRED's public records-based reporting, this one's in front of the paywall.
