If you believe San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie, there’s no place better to live in the world than the city by the bay. At WIRED’s Big Interview event on Thursday—not so coincidentally held in San Francisco—the mayor told global editorial director Katie Drummond that he’s absolutely convinced that anyone looking to rag on the city doesn’t know what they’re talking about.Photograph: Annie NoelkerOf course, Lurie said, things could always be better. While he hailed positive changes San Francisco has made since he took office 11 months ago, like more office space being filled in the downtown area and a decrease…
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10+ competes directly with iPad Pro models in the premium tablet space, and the 256GB model still available at the Black Friday record low of $749 instead of $999 because Amazon and Samsung haven’t pulled the deal yet. This is the best value for money you’ll find on a premium Android tablet right now, especially considering the included S Pen and Galaxy AI features that cost extra on competing devices.

Scientists have discovered a record-breaking number of fossilized dinosaur footprints and swim tracks in a national park in central Bolivia.The tracksite sits along what was once an ancient coastline, with ripple marks extending alongside the footprints and other imprints in a northwest-southeast direction, according to a new study. Most of the tracks belong to bipedal, three-toed dinosaurs known as theropods that lived at the end of the Cretaceous period (145 million to 66 million years ago), but many bird tracks are also preserved, the scientists noted in the paper, which was published Wednesday (Dec. 3) in the journal PLOS One.”This…
If you’ve ever had something go wrong with your Facebook or Instagram account, then you probably have a good idea of just how frustrating the support process can be.

In an update, the company acknowledged that its “support hasn’t always met expectations” but that a series of AI-powered updates should make it easier for people to get help.The…
The Trump administration may think regulation is crippling the AI industry, but one of the industry’s biggest players doesn’t agree.At WIRED’s Big Interview event on Thursday, Anthropic president and cofounder Daniela Amodei told WIRED editor at large Steven Levy that even though Trump’s AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, may have tweeted that her company is “running a sophisticated regulatory capture strategy based on fear-mongering,” she’s convinced her company’s commitment to calling out the potential dangers of AI is making the industry stronger.“We were very vocal from day one that we felt there was this incredible potential” for AI, Amodei…
Garmin kept its Black Friday pricing active on several models including this Forerunner 165 that’s still sitting at its all-time low of $199 instead of the usual $249. This watch targets occasional and regular athletes who want serious training features without dropping a grand on the latest Fenix flagship model. The compromise here hits perfectly for people who run a few times a week or mix various activities but don’t need ultra-endurance battery life or sapphire crystal displays. The bright AMOLED touchscreen combined with traditional buttons gives you the best of both interface worlds without forcing you to choose between…
Just outside the gate of a 4,000-year-old city in China, archaeologists found a pit full of 80 skulls from human sacrifice victims. Now, a new study has revealed a surprising fact about the victims: Nine out of 10 were men.In the study, published Nov. 26 in the journal Nature, researchers analyzed DNA collected from skeletons found in the ancient city of Shimao and its satellite towns to figure out the social and kinship structure of this Neolithic society.The ancient stone-walled city of Shimao was first discovered in Shaanxi province in 2018. Occupied between about 2300 and 1800 B.C., Shimao was…
The debut game from Liquid Swords will arrive in early 2026, it was announced at today’s PC Gaming Show. Samson: A Tyndalston Story is billed as “a consequence-heavy noir action game” by its developer, and focuses on the eponymous Samson McCray, a man who’s got himself into serious debt in a city that doesn’t seem particularly forgiving.The debut trailer doesn’t give too much away in terms of story, but I’m getting gritty Max Payne-y vibes. Combat looks crunchy and visceral, and it sounds like Liquid Swords is going for an oppressive atmosphere. “Samson is built on a simple, brutal truth:…
As the large language models powering generative AI tools slurp up ever more data across the web, Cloudflare cofounder and CEO Matthew Prince said at WIRED’s Big Interview event in San Francisco on Thursday that the internet infrastructure company has blocked more than 400 billion AI bot requests for its customers since July 1.The action comes after the company announced a Content Independence Day in July—an initiative with prominent publishers and AI firms to block AI crawlers by default on content creators’ work unless the AI companies pay for access. Since July 2024, Cloudflare has offered customers tools to block…
Walton Goggins has time to play sexy DILFs on Saturday Night Live and the Grinch in Walmart’s Black Friday ad, but not sit down and mess around with VATs in one of the games his hit Fallout TV show is based on. Not only has Goggins never played a Fallout game in the past. He doesn’t plan to do so in the future either. I don’t blame him, either. It’s just really funny how emphatic he is about it. “No, I haven’t sat down to play the games,” he told PC Gamer ahead of season 2’s release later this month.…
