Protesting Tips: What to Bring, How to Act, How to Stay Safe

“The most important thing to realize,” Williams says, “is that you’re showing up in solidarity with other people. It’s not your job to decide how things should go. It’s your job to show up and listen and be in support. Deprioritizing yourself is an incredibly important part of the experience.” Know Your Rights In the US, it’s entirely within your rights to peacefully demonstrate in public.

Inexpensive AI Agents Threaten Entry-Level Coding Jobs

wired.com Paresh Dave 2025-10-11 07:00:00

In 2007, Luke Arrigoni, an AI entrepreneur, earned $63,000 at his first job as a junior software developer. Today, he says AI tools that write better code than he did back then cost just $120 annually. The numbers don’t sit right with him. Arrigoni, who runs Loti AI, a company that helps Hollywood stars find unauthorized deepfakes, worries that underpriced AI tools encourage companies to eliminate entry-level roles. He wants to flip the incentive structure so people’s careers don’t end before t

Cadillac Optiq 2025 Review: Prices, Specs, Availability

wired.com John Voelcker 2025-10-11 08:00:00

The 2025 Cadillac Optiq is the US brand’s shot at capturing buyers of small, high-end EVs in North America and several other markets. It’s the latest in a lineup of five electric models from a brand recasting itself as all (or mostly) electric, tech-forward, and truly global—unlike its US luxury-barge image of past decades. I spent eight days in an Optiq in early May, and drove 840 miles throughout upstate New York and environs, and also New York City. It’s a quiet and comfortable small-SUV EV

24 Gifts for Dads Who Don’t Need Anything (2025)

wired.com Martin Cizmar 2025-10-11 08:31:00

your Dad doesn't need a gift for Father's Day. Ask any dad in your life, and he'll tell you the same. However, you should gift him something anyway. I am not only a dad and a gear reviewer, but also someone with a specific philosophy about what makes a good gift for middle-aged men like me. The best gifts for a dad are things that not only are relevant to his interests but also can be fairly described as “overkill.” Dads tend to like things that are useful but overbuilt.

Waymo rides cost more than Uber or Lyft — and people are paying anyway

A central premise of robotaxis is that high usage and lower labor costs will ultimately make it a cheap transportation option. That is still far from true, but now there’s some data that gives us an idea of by how much. Obi, an app that aggregates real-time pricing and pick-up times across multiple ride-hailing services, has just published what it’s calling the “first in-depth examination of Waymo’s pricing strategy.” The company found Waymo’s self-driving car rides to be consistently more expe

When Daniel Saks was working as a co-CEO of the previous startup he co-founded, AppDirect, billionaire Michael Dell sent him a LinkedIn message asking for a meeting. Dell famously likes to cold-contact founders of startups he finds interesting. “I thought it was fake,” Saks tells TechCrunch.

Two years later, I think we’re starting to see what those are. One growing segment that could be a big win for sodium-ion: electric micromobility vehicles, like scooters and three-wheelers.

The flash crash is probably the most well-known example of the dangers raised by agents—automated systems that have the power to take actions in the real world, without human oversight. That power is the source of their value; the agents that supercharged the flash crash, for example, could trade far faster than any human. But it’s also why they can cause so much mischief. “The great paradox of agents is that the very thing that makes them useful—that they’re able to accomplish a range of tasks—
