Search ArticlesDOGE Veterans Are Landing Big Jobs at Prediction Markets
Polymarket’s every move is under close scrutiny these days, as the prediction market giant fights dozens of legal battles about how it can operate. But one hiring decision has remained under the radar: Late last year, Polymarket brought on former Department of Government Efficiency affiliate Jonathan Mendelson as a senior strategic executive.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Is a Superhero Movie for Yearners
Spider-Man: Brand New Day remembers what the comics have always been about—a man who keeps getting back up, even at his lowest. If you are looking for a typical superhero flick, hitting action beats and cameos and not much else, look elsewhere. Brand New Day, which hits theaters July 31, is a deeply emotional, more mature Spider-Man film than anything in the “Home” trilogy.
The Best Budget Smartwatch for Saving Money Without Sacrificing Features
Like many consumer gadgets and wearables, smartwatches have gotten more expensive in recent months, thanks in part to rising component costs and supply chain pressures. But demand remains high, and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon. Wearables have become extensions of ourselves, much like our phones. We use them as second notification hubs, health and fitness trackers, and, of course, sometimes just to tell the time.
Don’t Get Too Attached to Jimothy
On July 14, internet history was made. After capturing video of a cryptid-like raccoon with a hunched spine and stumpy tail in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, Kiana Hall uploaded the footage to her Instagram account, referring to the sprightly little furball as “Jimothy.” (Later, asked in the comments where this name had come from, Hall replied that the animal “looked like a Jimothy to me.”) Within days, the clip had been viewed millions of times, spawning memes, fan art, plushie toys, and more.
OpenAI’s Hacking Debacle Was a Human Mistake
The age of rogue AI hacker agents has arrived—but it didn't have to happen this way. After an OpenAI agent breached the Hugging Face platform earlier this month, the two companies said this week that the hacking spree was more extensive than previously thought and also involved intrusions into multiple third-party accounts and services as part of the attack on Hugging Face.
LinkedIn Won’t Be Expanding Its Data Centers in the Next Year
Unlike many other big tech platforms, LinkedIn has decided it won’t spend aggressively on expanding its AI data centers this fiscal year. Executives at the professional social network tell WIRED that it plans to keep its investment in GPUs steady, and its compute and storage footprint is also remaining flat. The spending calculations apply to LinkedIn’s fiscal year that began last month and ends next June.
Review: TCL Tab A1 Plus Tablet
Buy Now Multiple Buying Options Available Rating: 7/10 WIRED Great display with 120-Hz refresh rate. Unibody aluminum design feels like a more expensive tablet. TCL interface has some nice productivity and AI tools. All-day battery life. TIRED Processor isn’t the most powerful. Cameras are serviceable but not outstanding. Short support cycle. Tablets have never quite become must-haves.
A Civilian Plane Crashed in New Mexico. Was the Military’s Tech to Blame?
This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most. But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble.
AI Scammers Are Better at Building Trust Than Humans
The notion that scammers can use AI to sharpen their deceptions, polish their language, and lubricate their banter with victims is now a reality for anyone fighting the fraud operations that steal tens of billions of dollars a year worldwide. But can AI fully replace a human scammer, autonomously building the web of deception leading up to the fake investment that defrauds the mark?
I Got a Free Meal From a Private Chef—Who Filmed It All to Train Robots
When the private chef sent by Shift arrived at my apartment to cook a three-course meal, he was already ready to record. He walked through my front door wearing a baseball hat with a blocky, white camera attached to the brim. I signed up for a free lunch in exchange for the whole experience being recorded and uploaded as training data.
