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.

This is a really hard day and I want to just add as WIRED's politics editor -- WIRED's politics reporting isn't going anywhere. We are very much here and won't stop.

Please continue to read and support us - canceling your subscription to WIRED is not standing in solidarity with our journalists.
The key thing to watch here: they fired a Wired political reporter. That’s the title doing the most effective, pointed work. Teen Vogue’s stuff was culturally impactful, but less focused on investigating the administration. Within the Condé portfolio, Wired and the New Yorker are the canaries.
New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Nothing I've read about AI has gotten at the deep, wonder-filled, and unsettling truth of this moment quite like this new WIRED longread by Alex Mar. Seriously, if this was a movie it would win the Oscar. It’s that good—and it was a highlight of my career to work on it.

As millions confide in ChatGPT about their most intimate problems, these relationships are even stranger, more moving, and more insidious than we've imagined.

New from me! Emails shared with WIRED reveal that the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service is participating in immigration enforcement, something they've never done before, at least not like this.

State Department Agents Are Now Working with ICE on Immigration
The State Department’s law enforcement arm is now involved in immigration enforcement, an area solidly outside its usual duties. One source compares it to IRS agents investigating espionage at NASA.

It's not often that I finish a feature story and then ... scroll right back to the top to start reading it again. We've been buzzing about this one on staff for weeks, and there's a lot more coming that we're very excited about. (Subscribe to WIRED, everyone!)

NEW: A @wired.com investigation into 911 calls from ICE detention centers shows a system inundated by medical crises, delayed treatment, and overcrowding.

This is the human cost of ICE's soaring arrest rates. It is disturbing reading. And it is going to get worse.

What's the best way to report out the *definitive* story of our autonomous robotaxi future?

A daylong car chase through the streets of San Francisco, OBVIOUSLY.

Get in—We’re Chasing a Waymo Into the Future
Tailing a robotaxi for hours and hours is weird. And revelatory. And jealousy-inducing. But a driverless world is coming for all of us. So shut the door and buckle up.
