earbuds that can single out specific sounds and voices to mute or amplify? 'acoustic' soundproof wallpaper inspired by moths? such a fun piece to research and write, commissioned by the excellent @verityburns.bsky.social
Such a crazy (and frankly terrifying) story.
Bluesky's blue check is *finally* here!
The new verification process launches today, WIRED has learned. Here's what that means:
AUTO FOCUS: Denza is another BYD brand coming west. BYD had record rev of $107bn for 2024. Tesla’s was $97.7bn. Plus most of BYD shipments were domestic. It's no surprise analysts are bullish on BYD’s growth potential. @wired.com @verityburns.bsky.social has the story www.wired.com/story/byd-la...
Hahaha, love this 😂
What did dinosaurs *really* sound like? If you’ve ever found yourself asking that question, a musical project that uses 3D models of dinosaur skulls could be getting closer to answering it. And, note to Hollywood, they probably didn’t roar.
You probably already know that generative AI amplifies stereotypes and bias, but how bad is it? For months at @wired.com we’ve been interviewing experts and testing OpenAI’s Sora.

Say hello to the new Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro. Pretty *and* great budget phones from Nothing. Here's my review. www.wired.com/review/nothi...
No MWC for me this year, but @julianchokkattu.bsky.social and @simon-hill.bsky.social were there to dig out the very best from the show.
Hi Eason, please drop me an email with more details! I’m on verity_burns@wired.com 🙂
The day the Humane Ai Pin died, it was also reborn. Or at least, there was hope.
Minutes after Humane shut down the servers supporting its doomed device, a dedicated band of hackers had the code that could allow it to live on. @boone.bsky.social was there for its resurrection.
Five years on from the start of the pandemic, and the shift of many to remote working, the return-to-office mandates from big business are now coming in thick and fast—and the tech to enforce them is waiting. An excellent (and terrifying) piece by @sophiecharara.bsky.social
What a rollercoaster… less than 24 hours after going dark in the US, TikTok is back.

With revenue down for the second year in a row, could Sonos make the increasingly familiar move of turning to a subscription model to offer premium features for a monthly fee? The bungled app update now makes that a technical possibility.

Bold design in hi-fi… I am HERE FOR IT. So great to hear more about the three years of development this speaker has taken to come to market.
I am thrilled to announce a *late edition* to the @wired.com Big Interview event on December 3rd.
In addition to Mira Murati, Jensen Huang, Mark Cuban, and many more, we're also very lucky to host Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team in conversation with @knibbs.bsky.social !!

Excited for this!
A picture taken in the mirror of me with my face painted by my 6 year old daughter. It’s supposed to be a butterfly. It doesn’t look like one.
When I bought these face paints for my kids, I really thought *I* would be doing the face painting on them… 🙃
(I’m supposed to be a butterfly, apparently.)
Ok, here we go again 👋
