About six months ago, I noted an interesting divide among the right-leaning or politics-adjacent podcasters and influencers who helped get Donald Trump reelected. They were either shutting up about politics, bending over backward to justify his policies, or citing a couple of issues — ICE and the Epstein files — as red lines causing them to turn on him.What united them all was a loss of enthusiasm for him: not really championing him the way they did when they gave him a platform during the 2024 campaign season. That’s why I was especially curious to see how this MAGA-manosphere would…
Mick Mulvaney wants to be clear: He really likes gambling. “You’re talking to the only former member of Congress who’s won a poker tournament in Las Vegas,” he tells WIRED. When he was representing South Carolina in the US House of Representatives, he pushed for the state to allow sports betting.Because of his background, Mulvaney, a former Trump administration official, says he can tell when something is gambling—and that the sports contracts on prediction markets fit the bill. “You know the old saying, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck?” he asks. “If…
TCL has been making smartphones and tablets at an impressive clip for years. While most companies have focused on foldable display tech — and TCL has dabbled — the focus has been on its NXTPAPER screens. Aimed at being friendlier on the eyes, and pitched as a device somewhere between e-ink slates and traditional tablets, NXTPAPER has gradually been upgraded and refined, reaching an apex at CES 2026 earlier this year with the Kindle Scribe-alike, the Note A1 NXTPAPER and its latest smartphone, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro.At MWC, just a couple of months later, it’s preparing for a major leap…
The Odido breach leaks were towards the beginning during this week’s update. I recorded it the day after the second dump of data had hit, with a third dump coming a few hours later, and a final dump of everything the day after that. From what I hear, it dominated the news in the Netherlands, and we sure saw that through the traffic stats. Clearly, the leak cadence was designed for maximum news impact, and it seems to have achieved that. It may not have put any cash in the extortionist’s pockets, but it’s set a very visible precedent and,…
Google LLC is getting closer to fulfilling its vision of enabling truly autonomous network operations with the launch of its latest artificial intelligence agents. They’ll help telecommunications providers to build and maintain digital twins of their networks that can be used to predict their behavior under real-world conditions and test the impact of upgrades before they’re implemented. The updates, announced at MWC Barcelona, build on the release of Google’s Autonomous Network Operations framework last year, which serves as a blueprint for telcos to build self-healing, “zero-touch” networks powered by AI agents that can sense, reason and take autonomous actions without human…

Ravie LakshmananFeb 28, 2026National Security / Artificial Intelligence Anthropic on Friday hit back after U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth directed the Pentagon to designate the artificial intelligence (AI) upstart as a “supply chain risk.” “This action follows months of negotiations that reached an impasse over two exceptions we requested to the lawful use of our AI model, Claude: the mass domestic surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weapons,” the company said. “No amount of intimidation or punishment from the Department of War will change our position on mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons.” In a social media post…
Part phone, part lighter. It can make calls and make fire. David Lumb/CNETHave you ever wanted your phone to last for days in the wild and light your campfire, too? At the Showstoppers press event ahead of MWC 2026, I saw a new smartphone from outdoor electronics company Oukitel that aims to be an all-in-one device for the rugged digital nomad. The Oukitel WP63 phone is around $500 and checks a lot of boxes. It’s got a 20,000-mAh battery — yes, twenty thousand milliamp hours — with an included USB-C port that can charge your other devices. It also powers the audio speaker…
The Guardian describes WPP as “beleaguered.” An agency besieged by the tides of the market, surrounded by problems on all its sides. This comes after the announcement by CEO Cindy Rose that WPP would be consolidated under a single company; no longer will the organization be a holding company, but rather 4 different operating units working under the same umbrella. With one single P&L. The implications of this move are far and wide. First, agencies will report into WPP Creative, which they hope will streamline communications and create stable workflows. Second, they will employ agentic AI to scale global workflows.…
Artificial intelligence can enhance decision-making and enable action with reduced risk and greater precision, making it a critical tool for national security. A new program offered jointly by the MIT departments of Mechanical Engineering (Course 2, MechE) and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course 6, EECS) will provide breadth and depth in technical studies for naval officers, as well as a path for non-naval officers studying at MIT, to grow in their understanding of applied AI for naval and military applications.“The potential for artificial intelligence is just starting to be fully realized. It’s a tool that dramatically improves speed, efficiency,…
