Anthropic just announced a new feature called “Dreaming” at the company’s developer conference in San Francisco. It’s part of Anthropic’s recently launched AI agent infrastructure designed to help users manage and deploy tools that automate software processes. This “dreaming” aspect sorts through the transcript of what an agent recently completed and attempts to glean insights to improve the agent’s performance.Folks using AI agents often send them on multi-step journeys, like visiting a few websites or reading multiple files, to complete online tasks. This new “dreaming” feature allows agents to look for patterns in their activity log and improve their abilities…
Back in 2022 we first reported on the news that a consumer rights group in the UK was attempting to launch the British equivalent of a class action lawsuit (it’s the same but with more “u”s) against Sony on the basis that the company charges a 30-percent commission fee on all digital purchases with no option for competition. After failing to get the multi-billion dollar “PlayStation You Owe Us” lawsuit thrown out in 2023, Sony’s time in court comes to an end this week. And if this all sounds very familiar, yes, it was only this weekend that Sony lost…
The complaint sounds familiar. “I’m disappointed that you are working to incorporate AI garbage into the site,” one annoyed person, posting anonymously, said in an online message. “No-one is asking for this—we want you to improve the site, stop charging for new features.”Only, this is not a regular internet user moaning about AI being forced into their favorite app. Instead, they are complaining about a cybercrime forum’s plans to introduce more generative AI. Like millions of others, scammers, grifters, and low-level hackers are getting annoyed about AI encroaching into their lives and the rise of low-quality AI slop being posted…
If you’ve paid any attention to Google lately, you know that it wants us using its AI tools. So much so that Chrome apparently downloads a 4GB file containing details for running Gemini Nano, Google’s on-device LLM. Computer scientist Alexander Hanff published the details earlier this week on his website The Privacy Guy and goes into extreme detail on why this isn’t a good look for Google. I just verified what he said about the file, named “weights.bin” and found itin the Chrome folder in the macOS Library directory (which is ordinarily hidden so that users don’t mess with potentially…
2026 is truly raising the game for cosplay. After the extraordinary outfits we featured that appeared at WonderCon, we’ve got another extraordinary gallery of incredible costumes from 2026’s Lvl Up Expo, via the photography magic of Mineralblu. The Vegas show, which is all about pop culture and gaming, has cosplay at its core, and people really delivered. Dispatch was once again featured, alongside some very imaginative takes on the regulars, such as Overwatch, Resident Evil and Minecraft. You’ve never seen an Ender Dragon quite like this one. There are also some exquisite recreations of fits from World of Warcraft and Silent Hill, and…
Summer is right around the corner. We’re headed out on adventures and bringing our stuff with us. Here are all the tech and tips that WIRED Reviews recommends for your travels.There is a surprisingly robust debate among frequent travelers about whether it’s best to carry on a suitcase or to check it. Sure, checking a bag saves you from worrying about space restrictions and confusing security requirements, needing to tote your suitcase into a bathroom stall with you, and sweating about snagging overhead bin space once you board. But you need only one really bad experience with checking luggage to…
I’m looking at Volume 1,536 of the Epstein files, page 311. It’s an early 2016 email thread between Jeffrey Epstein and a woman whose name is redacted by the Department of Justice.In the thread, Epstein asks the unidentified woman for a “naughty selfie” and later sends her a camera. In late February, he replies with a different ask: “Do you have any friends that might want to work for me?…I will give you money if you find someone willing to travel, 22-25, educated. Personable.”The exchange carries extra resonance when you consider that Epstein is accused of sex trafficking minors, with…
Earlier this week, Kotaku reported on the leak from well-known Ubisoft insider j0nathan, who claimed that playtests for a long-rumored PvP-style Assassin’s Creed title, codenamed “Invictus,” had been held in late April. Well, j0nathan is back with a new Assassin’s Creed Invictus leak, but said leak isn’t being as well-received as the last one…mostly because the official Assassin’s Creed X account put him on blast for using AI to “heavily” alter the image featured in the leak. Last night, j0nathan posted what he claimed was an image from Assassin’s Creed Invictus’ latest playtest on X. Writing in French, j0nathan said,…

As Mario Gomez-Hall walks me through his new restaurant discovery app, Zest Maps, the founder pauses on its user leaderboard and highlights a profile topping the charts with over 1,000 visits logged. It’s Foursquare cofounder Dennis Crowley, helping test the beta version.“He’s given us really useful feedback,” Gomez-Hall says. “It’s sort of a spiritual successor to Foursquare.” (For those who may not remember, Foursquare was a hot location check-in social app around 2010 when GPS-enabled apps were first trending.)The core gist of Zest Maps, rolling out today for iOS users (no Android support yet), is the automatic logging of every…
