OpenAI and Microsoft like to present themselves as the power couple of Silicon Valley, but behind closed doors, it’s looking increasingly like a distraught and loveless marriage. The two companies, which are bound together by cash flows and an entwined product base, have been undergoing a turbulent negotiation surrounding OpenAI’s desire for a shorter leash and the opportunity to turn itself into a for-profit company. Microsoft appears to be resistant to some of those goals. Now, a new report cl

Best Organic Mattresses (2025): Certified Nontoxic, Natural Sleep

wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2026-03-16 18:03:00

Certified organic mattresses are made of natural, organic materials that have been independently tested to meet standards. Not all “organic”mattresses are equal though. We’ve narrowed our search by sticking with companies that have certifications like the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) and ‌Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). GOLS covers latex, which has a pretty complex manufacturing process that is not always the healthiest, but GOLS ensures that the finished results is as free of ha

A group of the top minds in AI gathered over the weekend to discuss the "posthuman transition" — a mind-bending exercise in imagining a future in which humanity willfully hands over power, or perhaps bequeaths existence entirely, to some sort of superhuman intelligence. As Wired reports, the lavish party was organized by generative AI entrepreneur Daniel Faggella.

'How to Train Your Dragon' Has Tempered My Disdain for Live-Action Remakes

I go into live-action remakes with an air of spite and the lowest expectations, and I typically walk out feeling like those emotions are justified.

Scientists in Antarctica Detect Deep-Earth Signals That Defy Known Physics

A balloon-borne experiment over Antarctica, designed to detect cosmic radio waves, has instead picked up bizarre signals that appear to be coming from deep within the ice. These signals challenge our current understanding of particle physics, scientists say. The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment consists of radio antennas flown on NASA balloons 19 to 24 miles (30 to 39 kilometers) over the surface of Antarctica.
