NEW: OpenAI is putting together a team capable of developing algorithms to control robots and appears to be hiring roboticists who work specifically on humanoids. Great piece from @willknight.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/openai...

In this week's Made in China newsletter: at China's flagship AI summit WAIC, the vibe was totally different from Trump’s America-first, regulation-light vision for AI. Beijing is pitching itself as the world leader of AI safety regulation. WIRED's @willknight.bsky.social reports from Shanghai:

WGBH building in Boston today

The camera never lies but this AI model sure does, altering live video in dramatic ways. Given how quickly AI video has advanced, it may soon be difficult to believe anything you see on a livestream, TikTok, or video chat. www.wired.com/story/decart...

Elon Musk's lawyers claimed in a Sunday court filing that he "does not use a computer." Here are the many, many times Musk has been seen using a computer or has talked about using a computer recently: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

There should be a word to describe the nauseating feeling that the message you are reading was AI-generated. "Generaphobia" perhaps. Also, PR people, please stop using AI to write pitches.

While the US puts up barriers to the rest of the world, the rest of the world shows it can offer increasingly competitive AI. If isolationism and attacks on higher-ed continue, the US might soon find itself playing catchup. www.wired.com/story/stanfo...

Think semiconductors are spared from the tariffs? Think again. WIRED found that the list of exempted imports contains only a narrow range of items, omitting key products like GPUs, servers, lithography machines. It makes building data centers & chip plants harder. from me & @willknight.bsky.social

Nice piece by @ethanz.bsky.social on DeepSeek and the perils of isolationism. If only someone in the administration might read it. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/views/column...

Backstabbing. Sabotage. Mutiny. And a piss-soaked alleyway in central London. In my latest for @WIRED, I try to finesse my way to winning a $140,000 cryptocurrency prize. www.wired.com/story/crypto...

My latest for @wired.com; AI researchers propose a new way of reporting dangerous flaws in big AI morels: www.wired.com/story/ai-res...

Will all the money supposedly being saved be returned to taxpayers somehow? Or might it perhaps justify some wildly expensive new project like a manned mission to Mars?

Thank you @knibbs.bsky.social for taking over WIRED's AI newsletter again this week. You can read her excellent dispatch, on an interesting new AI search tool featuring something called "humans", here: www.wired.com/story/this-n... (Also, please subscribe).

Very excited that @knightcolumbia.org used our AI Elections Project at @wired.com as the basis for their analysis. knightcolumbia.org/blog/we-look... You can check out the project here: www.wired.com/story/genera...

every time i take over the AI newsletter from @willknight.bsky.social i defile it in some way...today's no different! www.wired.com/story/onlyfa...

Hello new friends!! I'm Louise, I'm an editor @wired.com. I have a scoop to share today from me and @willknight.bsky.social: The Biden administration is gonna announce a sweeping set of new export controls on Monday designed to strangle China's AI industry www.wired.com/story/memory...

The video game Oasis (not sure if it's a nod to Ready Player One) is entirely generated by an AI model, which means you can explore by tricking the underlying model into hallucinating new scenes--a fevered kind of generative lucid-dreaming. www.wired.com/story/first-...

Bluesky nuked an account that was impersonating this one within 24-hours. I'm impressed given how much traffic they are suddenly seeing.

Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team, @mcuban.bsky.social, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and more from the biggest names in technology, business, and science are joining us IRL at the #WIREDBigInterview event on Dec. 3 in San Francisco. Join us!! www.wired.com/story/thebig...

Brad Porter, CEO of Cobot, announced their new wheeled warehouse robot Proxie today. As I am quoted near the end of this piece, wheels make so much more sense than legs for moving stuff any distance in a warehouse. Congratulations to Brad and Cobot. www.wired.com/story/robot-...

we've got our newsroom on bluesky skeeting. absolute skeeters out here. let's go:

I recently visited Physical Intelligence, a $400 million funded startup that aims to bring artificial intelligence into the real world. The company is making progress towards a master algorithm for robot control and building some remarkable home robots. www.wired.com/story/physic...

What will AI imagine the world to look like? @willknight.bsky.social spent time this week playing an AI game based on Minecraft data, and boy did it not know what to do about his cat (gif in the story) www.wired.com/story/first-...

Really important service journalism here from @agreenberg.bsky.social and @lhn.bsky.social on how to protect yourself and your sources before Trump's new regime takes control.... www.wired.com/story/the-wi...

What Trump's win means for tech. A look at trade, artificial intelligence, antitrust, social platforms, crypto, and TikTok. Written by @laurengoode.bsky.social @peard33.bsky.social and me. www.wired.com/story/trump-...

From earlier today... After suing OpenAI for being too closed, Elon Musk has said he will release Grok. It's could help attract developers to his project but will likely also see him wade into the debate concerning the risks of open models. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Did you know I cohost a podcast on Wired once a week with @laurengoode.bsky.social? Because it's truuuue. This week we talk to @willknight.bsky.social about Nvidia and its central role in the AI boom. Good talk, worth a listen! www.wired.com/story/gadget...

Elon Musk's lawsuit against his OpenAI depends on the out-there claim that GPT-4 is, in fact, artificial general intelligence AGI, defined as "a machine having intelligence for a wide variety of tasks like a human." Many experts would probably beg to differ. www.wired.com/story/wild-c...
