Parents are fed up with friends and relatives giving their kids “personalized” AI-generated storybooks with characters resembling their kids. Apart from data privacy concerns, literacy experts say these garbled and convoluted narratives could be an impediment to learning how to read.

I'm not leaving a fucking "sent from my iPhone" at the end of my book lmao

LOL it would be v funny tho

I mean I'm not but it's certainly an interesting strategy. I do think using an app to make you seem more error-prone and haphazard defeats the purpose

I've been asked before whether my posts are co-written with AI. They're not: every word is mine. And I do make typos and mistakes, but let me be clear, I do not do it intentionally. It's not some Persian rugs must be imperfect thing - it's because I'm sloppy. Thanks for listening.

I also refuse to adjust my em dash use

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

@milesklee.bsky.social talked to parents who keep receiving AI-generated books featuring their kids as the star. None of the kids enjoy reading them—but their grandparents won't stop gifting them. www.wired.com/story/boomer...

yeah it's been banned in about a dozen states. in all likelihood, it will just be replaced with a similar product that hasn't yet been scheduled—happens with basically all gas station drugs.

As the DEA, backed by MAHA, plans to ban 7-OH, the opioid-like compound found in kratom, I spoke with users who are reliant on it for pain and anxiety relief—and others who became rapidly addicted, or even went broke purchasing more and more: www.wired.com/story/7-oh-u...

A reminder that resisting Big Tech isn’t just about regulation. It’s also about changing our habits and rebuilding real-world connections. Worth a listen, from @manishakrishnan.bsky.social ⤵️

As the right wages a war on porn, porn accounts on X are fetishizing ICE raids and white supremacy. latest from @jasooooon.bsky.social and it is terrible: www.wired.com/story/people...

Musk and his culture war chuds are somehow still crashing out over Nolan's Odyssey instead of moving on to the next outrage, weaving conspiracy theories about no-show ticketholders and churning out their own AI slop scenes based on Homer's epic.

Between Elon Musk vowing to have Grok redo the Odyssey and the people convinced that ticket sales are a psyop, it's getting real sad out there. blog from @milesklee.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/the-od...

With the FDA reconsidering regulations on peptides, telehealth companies see an opportunity that could be even bigger than the compounded GLP-1 business. From @knibbs.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/fda-pe...

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

@johnsemley3000.bsky.social drove 40 minutes to get to a sold out 8 am screening of The Odyssey—the movie is not going to fail but the reactionary backlash sure did. www.wired.com/story/the-od...

Not only do we stand by our reporting. Madison Square Garden’s ridiculous lawsuit actually confirms it, noting the company did, in fact, track the sexual orientation of LGBTQIA celebrities in its talent database.

From me, and the WIRED leadership team. Proud of WIRED today and every day, and we’re not slowing down on our reporting about MSG or anything else.

Love that the NY Post has wall to wall coverage of Chuck Schumer farting. This is the third post I’ve seen from them
