“I remember as a kid doing interviews in the mirror by myself, dreaming of this moment right here where I’m getting interviewed by you.”

“You dreamed of being interviewed by WIRED magazine?”

“Exactly.”

“Yeah. Do you read WIRED?”

“No.”

Heartbroken to learn of the loss of my old friend and @wired colleague @stevesilberman.

He was a pioneer in writing about so much, including, quite often the mysteries of the human brain. Here are some favorites.

I've spent the last year or so investigating the truth about cloud seeding for this @WIRED feature – if it works, what that means, and whether it even matters.

For years, everyone has talked about regulating AI fakes as though it is natural for governments to decide what is true, what is false and what is "toxic." Now, the ACLU has entered the chat. My latest for @WIRED.

NEW: We found senator J.D. Vance's public Venmo account. It gives an unfiltered glimpse into his extensive network of connections with establishment GOP heavyweights, wealthy financiers, technology executives, and even the architects of Project 2025.

To drive your Uber or bring your Instacart delivery, Priscila Barbosa had to be, well, you. (so did 100's of her customers.)

A wild tale from the queen of a shadow gig economy, an identity thief within the US immigration stalemate, my latest @wired

Since @jack decided to mock WIRED's content this week (clearly without ever visiting the site), I thought I would just point out just a small sample of the incredible work my colleagues have published this week alone...

Here is our home page right now

I stopped paying attention to Balaji long before he made his recent comment about being “ethnically cleansed out of San Francisco,” but it may SHOCK you to know that back in the day he was a Moldbug handmaiden https://t.co/z12NpzClvV

For years Epik was the technology company keeping far-right and extremist websites online when other companies refused to do business with them.

Now they've been acquired by a company that specializes in helping businesses keep their operations secret https://t.co/mSKefEtS6Q

I wrote this for @WIRED inspired by my brother -- the coolest and (until I wrote this) only DeLorean owner I know.

"The early ’90s had no hip-hop message boards. There was no social media. The legend of 'Illmatic' was built from street corner to street corner, person to person, party to party."

"It’s exciting to point the finger at a scary technology, but the real cause of the flooding is likely more banal: Dubai is comically ill-equipped to deal with rainfall." @amitkatwala on Dubai's flash floods https://t.co/bSONzCDPfG

A data broker tracked the devices of visitors to a private island where Jeffrey Epstein allegedly assaulted and trafficked countless women and girls.

The data, exposed online, details precise coordinates where hundreds live and work in the US
