You may have seen this story blowing up about Will Smith using AI to generate fake audiences to promote his latest tour, but the truth is more complicated. The audiences are real, but the footage was manipulated: first by Will Smith's team and then, without permission, by YouTube itself.

I was showing my 9 year old kid "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", which was made in 1975. It's 50 years old! So, I was thinking, what would it have been like if I had seen a 50 year old movie when I was 9 years old? That would have been a movie from 1939!!! 🤯 #old

Again, we’re excited to be the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage. We hope other publications follow suit in this critical moment. And if you want to support our journalism directly, you can do so by subscribing here. wrd.cm/3DKcKYD

Access to journalism based on public records is more important than ever at this moment, with government websites and records disappearing, DOGE doing its best to operate outside the public’s view, and the National Archive in disarray.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
