Like Trae said, we spoke to 37 former and current Anduril workers, in addition to investors, experts, and former military officials, for this deeply reported story, which you should read: wired.com/story/andurils…
Trae Stephens@traestephens

The world is splitting between people who engage with reality to build the future and professional outrage artists spinning fantasy in the name of “accountability.” Wired has cast its lot with the latter. Wired talked to 37 people (including trying to talk to one employee's mother!) and discovered some Pultizer-winning stuff: defense manufacturing is hard, Grimm didn't like his lunch, and that we hold our people to the highest standards. Truly groundbreaking. After I suggested someone should buy them last month, this reads less like journalism and more like a petty grudge. An increasingly irrelevant tech publication put us in their burn book. Newsflash @Wired: this changes nothing about what the Pentagon needs or what our adversaries fear. What this half-reported screed can't capture (because it wouldn't know how and didn't take us up on our offers to help) is where we actually are: scaling faster than anyone in this industry, fixing problems as we find them, and building things this country hasn't built in generations. Don't like it? Don't Work at Anduril.

Donald Trump owes at least part of his victory to the manosphere—the amorphous assortment of influencers who are mostly young, exclusively male, and increasingly the deeply popular drivers of the remaining online monoculture. read @brbarrett: wired.com/story/donald-t…

“I remember as a kid doing interviews in the mirror by myself, dreaming of this moment right here where I’m getting interviewed by you.” “You dreamed of being interviewed by WIRED magazine?” “Exactly.” “Yeah. Do you read WIRED?” “No.”

For years, everyone has talked about regulating AI fakes as though it is natural for governments to decide what is true, what is false and what is "toxic." Now, the ACLU has entered the chat. My latest for @WIRED.   wired.com/story/aclu-art…

NEW: We found senator J.D. Vance's public Venmo account. It gives an unfiltered glimpse into his extensive network of connections with establishment GOP heavyweights, wealthy financiers, technology executives, and even the architects of Project 2025. wired.com/story/jd-vance…

To drive your Uber or bring your Instacart delivery, Priscila Barbosa had to be, well, you. (so did 100's of her customers.) A wild tale from the queen of a shadow gig economy, an identity thief within the US immigration stalemate, my latest @wired wired.com/story/priscila…

Since @jack decided to mock WIRED's content this week (clearly without ever visiting the site), I thought I would just point out just a small sample of the incredible work my colleagues have published this week alone... Here is our home page right now 1/7

I stopped paying attention to Balaji long before he made his recent comment about being “ethnically cleansed out of San Francisco,” but it may SHOCK you to know that back in the day he was a Moldbug handmaiden wired.com/story/balaji-s…

For years Epik was the technology company keeping far-right and extremist websites online when other companies refused to do business with them. Now they've been acquired by a company that specializes in helping businesses keep their operations secret wired.trib.al/xPXarF5
