It's a very good story Alexis

Inside the stealthy startup that pitched brainless human clones Need a backup body? We uncovered a radical proposal for “full body replacement.”

This is a wild scoop from my colleague @antonioregalado.bsky.social on the stealth startup looking into some incredibly ethically murky #biotech longevity solutions www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/30/1...

Why climate researchers are taking the temperature of mountain snow As climate change fuels increasingly erratic weather, scientists need a better read on snowpack temperature to understand when water will reach reservoirs—and when it threatens to flood them.

In fairness, I have also squeezed some ski content into @technologyreview.com

I’m sorry! Must credit Megan! The joke was clean tho.

Golly I remember when Trump said he was going to throw Mark Zuckerberg in prison. I wonder what changed?

Please stop posting these ICE agents without their parents' consent.

I love seeing Chris Anderson criticize Katie. Chris was so ethics-free that he put HIS OWN DRONE COMPANY, WHICH HE OWNED WHILE EDITING WIRED, at the heart of a cover package. I was covering drones as death-instruments for Wired at the time & wasn’t even told about the cover. Wont happen under Katie!

Defense official reveals how AI chatbots could be used for targeting decisions Though the US military's big data initiative Maven has sped up the planning of strikes for years, the comments suggest generative AI is now adding a new interpretative layer to such deliberations.

Oh.

Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

A DOGE software engineer is alleged to have taken records on more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... by @merylkornfield.bsky.social et al

I have literally watched something like 5 hours of this DOGE bro testimony. I'm completely obsessed, it's weirdly captivating. The circular arguments, the disdain from everyone involved, a true pleasure to watch

The night sky is ours. All of ours. Our children’s. Their children’s. We should be doing more to preserve the view of the stars for all. We give this up for some ludicrous to churn out wasteful nonsense to feed rich maniacs’ grift, it’s not coming back…

How AI is turning the Iran conflict into theater AI-enabled dashboards, combined with prediction markets and fake imagery, are reshaping how war is observed.

Homemade intelligence dashboards on Iran are spreading. But an abundance of information does not come with the accuracy or context required for real understanding. Intelligence agencies do this in-house; good journalism does the same work for the rest of us www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/09/1...

NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

MIT Technology Review is thrilled to announce that this story, which offers a first-of-its-kind look at AI's energy use and climate impact, is a National Magazine Awards finalist in the Reporting category.

I could not be more excited about this

Judge forced to slash SF jury pool over hate for Elon Musk One candidate said he thinks sending Elon Musk to prison would benefit humanity.

“In a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict, however, in a civil trial I could set those views aside,” adding, “I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race for Mr. Musk to be sent to prison.”

One of the great problem with journalism prizes is that they are mostly awarded based on the year a piece is published and not once their true power has been recognized.

But if ever there were a case for a special award...it should go to Julie.

The curious case of the disappearing Lamborghinis A new wave of theft is rocking the luxury car industry—mixing high-tech with old-school chop-shop techniques to snag vehicles while they’re in transport.

Why steal a car when you can pose as the transport company and get handed the keys? @craigsilverman.bsky.social explores a rise in luxury car larceny, for @technologyreview.com's upcoming Crime issue. www.technologyreview.com/2026/02/17/1...

one of the things most interesting (and worst) things about cult-like thinking is you don't have to be in an actual cult to be sucked into it. a substantial fraction of the debate around what AI is gonna do in the near future is a product of unfalsifiable beliefs

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

In 2021, I reported on an internal meeting at Facebook about discussions to put facial recognition on new smartglasses. One of their execs complained about the coverage and said the co would have a "very public discussion" about the tech.

They never did. And now: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

I feel like I should get out ahead of this episode to note that I regret my actions and have nothing but respect for the startup community. It was wrong of me to attempt to sabotage @evrat.bsky.social's startup and I won't do it again

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

Just gonna go out on a limb here and speculate that the institution could, in fact, have a better owner.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
