My next Big Interview for @wired.com is out, and the timing couldn’t be better: In the days before Arm was set to launch its own chip (!) I had the chance to grill Arm CEO Rene Haas on what this CPU means for the chip market, and for the future of Arm www.wired.com/story/arms-c...

Huge news in chip world: ARM is now making its own chips www.wired.com/story/chip-d...

Finally got to read @mzeff.bsky.social's Claude Code vs. Codex feature in full (his first @wired.com feature!) and it's a banger: "But while Altman makes confident pronouncements from the serenity of pretzel pose, the reality over the past few years has been messier..." www.wired.com/story/openai...

Scoop: Grammarly is facing a class action lawsuit over its AI "expert review" tool, which presented advice from living and dead authors without their consent. Parent company Superhuman pulled the feature earlier today following backlash. by @milesklee.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/gramma...

NEW: Grammarly got hit with a class-action lawsuit this afternoon over its AI "expert review" feature that uses real experts' likenesses without their consent. @juliaangwin.com is the only named plaintiff. @milesklee.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Big scoop from @willknight.bsky.social: Nvidia will spend $26 billion over the next five years to build open source artificial intelligence models, according to a 2025 financial filing www.wired.com/story/nvidia...

you can tell Wired has been doing good journalism lately because there's been increased whining by the extraction class about how Wired mysteriously changed in the decade since tech titans fully revealed themselves as sociopaths from this recent Dorsey interview:

AI companies have all learned the lesson that smartphone companies learned almost a decade ago: Design your own chips. from @laurengoode.bsky.social

Had this convo with a *certain* VC off the record last year. And said plainly: Point of journalism is not to solely help your deal flow and make rich people richer, but to provide truthful and accurate information to people who don't have such access to power and capital bsky.app/profile/kngu...

Believing the point of Wired—or journalism at large—is to give ideas for venture capitalists to invest in is bafflingly ahistorical and narcissistic.

for the record, i won't work for people like this. i don't give a shit about money. i will thoreau myself. i'll eat soup everyday. i will get a job at wingstop.

SCOOP from @zoeschiffer.bsky.social & @laurengoode.bsky.social Nvidia is planning to launch an open-source platform for AI agents, people familiar with the company’s plans tell WIRED: www.wired.com/story/nvidia...

Scoop, from @zoeschiffer.bsky.social and me: Nvidia has been readying a new open-source, agentic AI platform for businesses. Think OpenClaw, but for enterprises. Nvidia is pitching it to customers as a secure option for claws, and plans to reveal more at GTC next week www.wired.com/story/nvidia...

More than 30 employees from OpenAI and Google, including Google DeepMind chief scientist Jeff Dean, filed an amicus brief on Monday in support of Anthropic in its legal fight against the US government www.wired.com/story/openai... via @mzeff.bsky.social

Anthropic sues US government www.wired.com/story/anthro...

Wired has gotten more negative, and that’s a positive. I was working there when the vibe started shifting from “wow, look what tech can do!” to, “oh shit, look what tech companies are doing.” Less cheerleading and more watchdogging is precisely the right call.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

What's interesting about this convo with Jack—in addition to his comments on Block layoffs, the state of X, and his decision to step away from Bluesky—is that he says Wired has gotten more negative but also essentially acknowledged that the state of tech isn't...great www.wired.com/story/jack-d...

Huge scoop from @mzeff.bsky.social: Sources say the DoD used Microsoft’s version of OpenAI technology before the ChatGPT-maker lifted its prohibition on military applications www.wired.com/story/openai...

NEW: AI code translation startup Code Metal, which closed its series A funding round in November, has just raised another $125 million. The company makes a code translation and code validation platform for defense tech, among other industries www.wired.com/story/vibe-c...

Yesterday Nvidia and Meta announced a multi-billion dollar deal for chips in Meta's AI datacenters—both GPUs and CPUs. I wrote about why CPUs are back, and how Nvidia is adapting in an era when AI labs and tech co's are looking at every possible compute resource www.wired.com/story/nvidia...

Big news that I'm delighted to no longer be keeping a secret: Next week I join @wired.com as a senior writer! As everyone knows, this is a top-tier publication and indispensable record of digital life today. I'll be covering internet culture in all forms, as I have for almost 15 years now.

Over the past few days we've heard from ppl at Palantir, Google, and elsewhere who are sharing company leaders' responses to, or lack of response to, ICE actions in MN and around the US (see: @makenakelly.bsky.social @mzeff.bsky.social's excellent reporting). We're curious to hear more. Signal us.

The whole interview is worth it

Are you a tech worker or tech company leader who sees what's happening in Minnesota—and across the US—as the tipping point for no longer being silent about your personal politics? My DMs are open; Signal handle is in my bio.

This is excellent reporting by @laurengoode.bsky.social. The article doesn't name the attorneys representing Meta. It's not illegal, it's not even unethical to defend bad people. It is, however, immoral to help evil continue unabated. That matters. www.wired.com/story/meta-c...

Good morning and happy hump day! 🐪 This piece by @laurengoode.bsky.social pointing out the depths Zuckerberg / meta will go to hide the damage done to children is excellent investigative journalism. The @wired.com has proven to be a trusted source of information! www.wired.com/story/meta-c...

This is gonna be good bsky.app/profile/wire...

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

"Some leaders may want to believe that ICE arrests and the icy streets of Minnesota are far enough away from their own boardrooms not to have any impact, but that belief might not hold much longer."

“The most wealthy and powerful tech CEOs are still staying silent as ICE floods America’s streets, but now some researchers and engineers working for them have chosen to break rank.” Great @laurengoode.bsky.social story:

hard same. and you will be in the same office as me so you can't escape it

I wrote about ICE, Silicon Valley's response (or lack of) to ICE flooding US streets, and why "business as usual" for CEOs doesn't really apply in a politically unstable climate www.wired.com/story/backla...
