Mark Lanier was the lead attorney in the first social media addiction case to go to trial, against Meta and Google, which saw the plaintiff awarded $6 million in damages. Speaking at WIRED World Fair in Miami, Lanier recalls a moment during the trial where members of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s entourage arrived wearing Meta smart glasses.

Schafer plays Cora, a human pretending to be a replicant in order to survive, in the upcoming miniseries. Speaking at WIRED World Fair in Miami, Schafer said the action scenes were “really physically demanding.” Read more at the 🔗 in bio. 04 Nov 2026 “Musk” director Alex Gibney speaks to WIRED at a screening and Q&A event for his Elon Musk documentary at WIRED World Fair in Miami. 04 Nov 2026 To find out what’s next for the right-to-repair movement, WIRED spoke with Louis Rossmann, a YouTuber and consumer rights advocate. Rossmann recently organized the Own Your Shit tour, which went around the US earlier this year to call for the death of Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The act prohibits users from bypassing digital restrictions put on devices by manufacturers. Rossmann also discussed the US midterm elections, putting out bounties to find product fixes, and what will happen as the right-to-repair movement collides with the rise of AI.

The UK government has defaulted to openly publishing code it produces with public money for around a decade because it’s transparent, and making it easier for code to be reused is cost-efficient. This includes within the Department of Health and Social Care, and the Home Office, as well as local authorities. But funding squeezes have left departments neglecting maintenance and improvement of their technology estate. While ControlPlane security researcher Chris Nesbitt-Smith found the vulnerabilities using Claude’s Opus and Sonnet AI models, he says that he used consumer-grade models on a laptop and that many of the issues could have been caught by a routine IT health check. “None of this is the level of sophistication that general media is worried about in terms of cyber attacks,” he tells WIRED. “It’s all daft stuff.” Tap the 🔗 in bio to read the full story. 10 Nov 2026 No executive has pulled the strings in the artificial intelligence era quite like Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang. He parlayed the boom into incredible wealth, became a close confidant of President Donald Trump, and emerged as a prominent voice in US-China relations. That now all stands in the balance. Over the last few days, Huang’s status as an AI titan has come under scrutiny amid an admission that he had an affair with Alice Huang, an executive at a Singapore-based company whom US intelligence services concluded was a Chinese intelligence asset. Nvidia’s board of directors said that the company would launch an investigation into the incident. Huang, the company said, “fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating with it.” Huang earned $36 million last year, owned about 3.5 percent of Nvidia as of March, according to a corporate filing—which also noted that Huang is an at-will employee who can be let go anytime without severance. How exactly the investigation shakes out, and what it means for Huang’s future at the company, remains to be seen. But the incident at least puts his position at risk, and raises questions about how the industry will respond.

On Monday, November 9, France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps of being responsible for the attacks on French targets in October.

The firm, Heller, has handled Huang’s behind-the-scenes communications since at least October 2025, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Risa Heller, the firm’s founder, has built a reputation as a fixer for powerful men facing allegations of sexual misconduct and other personal controversies, according to a 2023 New York Magazine profile. Her past clients and people who have sought her advice include former congressman Anthony Weiner, chef Mario Batali, and writer Jeffrey Toobin. Heller also handles corporate communications and issues unrelated to personal controversies for its clients. Heller’s public relations consultants were initially believed to be hired for matters related to Huang’s personal life, including his family’s philanthropic endeavors, according to people familiar with the arrangement. The firm frequently communicated with Huang and his daughter Madison, a product marketing director at Nvidia who has become an increasingly prominent figure within the company, sources tell WIRED. It’s not clear whether Heller’s early work with the Huang family involved Huang’s affair.

The figure shows how HSI has increasingly relied on this warrantless authority to conduct investigations. To put HSI’s estimate into perspective, a previous WIRED analysis found that in the more than six and a half years from the start of 2016 to mid-August 2022, ICE agents only sent out around 170,000 of a type of administrative subpoena called a 1509 customs summons. In the past, DHS has maintained that customs summons could be used only for specific purposes. The DHS inspector general admonished Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Professional Responsibility in 2017 for trying to use a customs summons to unmask an anonymous Twitter poster, pointing out that its own procedures manual said that customs summons could only be used to obtain information related to customs or immigrations laws. That, however, has changed. The Trump administration recently argued in court that because the Customs Service’s powers were transferred to DHS following the passing of the Homeland Security Act, it can use that power to tackle its “broad investigative portfolio,” which it says includes enforcing laws “beyond legacy customs and immigration enforcement.” Tap the 🔗 in bio to read the full story. 09 Nov 2026 In 2012, as the driver of deaths in the opioid crisis began moving from prescription pills to heroin, Laura Bohn was tasked with finding safer drugs to manage pain. Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in 2017 she and other scientists revealed in the science journal Cell that several compounds—including a particularly promising one called SR-17018—could relieve pain in mice without causing respiratory depression. That’s a big deal, because respiratory depression is typically what causes people using opioids to stop breathing and die. On Reddit and Discord, people who use drugs frequently refer to the compound as a godsend that’s helped them quit using opioids they’re addicted to. Until very recently, the drug, though not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration, was relatively easy to purchase online, as it was not a federally controlled substance. Bohn, meanwhile, has been in the process of trying to conduct clinical trials on humans, which has never been done. But all of that came crashing to a halt when the US Drug Enforcement Administration emergency-scheduled SR-17018 as a Schedule I controlled substance in late August, putting it in the same category as heroin with “no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” Tap the 🔗 in bio to read the full story. 08 Nov 2026 Graham Raabe tells WIRED that he’s been pursuing stand-up comedy and screenwriting as hobbies for the better part of a decade, and trained in improv and sketch at the renowned Upright Citizens Brigade theater. It wasn’t until May of this year, he says, that he started experimenting with office humor videos on Instagram and TikTok. “I actually didn't start with any AI-adjacent content,” Raabe says. “It was primarily more of a down-the-middle, workplace comedy play, and I was just encouraged by the results and the feedback that I got.” “There's something inherently funny about the contradiction surrounding AI right now,” says Alex Melendez, associate director of gaming and entertainment at Dulcedo, the talent agency representing Raabe. “We're constantly hearing about how it's going to transform industries and replace jobs, and then you see it struggle with something incredibly basic. That disconnect creates a lot of comedic opportunity.” He feels that Raabe and others “are giving audiences a way to laugh at something that can otherwise feel intimidating or overwhelming,” and that the rapid evolution of AI means a steady flow of new material.
