New Yorkers have known for a long time that going to a game or concert at Madison Square Garden meant surrendering some privacy. That, as you watched the show, the Garden in a real sense watched you.

Owner James Dolan has watchlists of basketball fans who dared criticize his management. He keeps a close eye on his other venues too, including Radio City Music Hall and The Sphere in Las Vegas.

For this story, WIRED goes deep inside the security operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. We spoke with seven current and former employees of Dolan’s security service, and we reviewed some of their confidential internal reports and Signal group chat messages.

The news business isn’t just any business — it serves a vital role in our democracy, recognized by the First Amendment. But media outlets can’t serve that role if they’re bankrupt. And as a result, news readers often find themselves blocked by paywalls from reading important stories about government business.

"That experience is particularly frustrating for readers who are unable to access the groundbreaking investigative reports outlets like Wired magazine have been publishing, particularly over the first couple months of the Trump administration," the Freedom of the Press Foundation release reads. "Fortunately, Wired has a solution — it’s going to stop paywalling articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act."

Access to journalism based on public records is more important than ever at this moment, with government websites and records disappearing, DOGE doing its best to operate outside the public’s view, and the National Archive in disarray.

The discovery from the Trinity nuclear test site shows how extreme conditions can result in materials never before seen in nature or in the lab.

“Summoning a wizard who can nudify her,” wrote an anonymous 4chan user last week, posting on the site’s /r/ board, a hub for “adult requests” of specific explicit imagery.

Attached to the post was an image of a blonde woman in glasses, an open black jacket, white tank top, and ripped jeans, posing on a low wall with a sweeping view of an old-world city and a river behind her. It’s the kind of picture you’d see on a friend’s Instagram account during their vacation in Europe. On the left edge of the image, you can see that someone else has been cropped out of the photo.

The 4chan anon explained what they wanted from a “wizard,” a site term for anyone skilled at manipulating pictures of women to render deepfakes in which they appear to be undressed, committing sexual acts, or fulfilling a given fetish: “big juggs and thick body,” the user specified. “Bonus praise if you can leave her jacket on.” A few hours later, someone else replied with the altered image, which depicted the same woman, in the same pose and locale, but without a shirt, breasts exposed. (Yes, she still had the jacket on.)

“Thank you so much wiz,” replied an anon—presumably the same person who had made the original request. “Great edit <3.”

Anyone whose likeness is public may be subjected to this same invasive exploitation, but the overwhelming majority of victims of these nudifying acts are women.

On Thursday, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a political advocacy group that seeks to counter extremism, hate speech, and misinformation, published a paper on this topic by Leonie Oehmig, a researcher and policy associate in Berlin. Oehmig has studied deepfake intimate image abuse in depth; here she turned her attention to the sordid world of 4chan’s photo-editing “wizards” and their sycophantic followers.

Palantir hosted a hack week this spring to try to turn internal consternation over the company’s work with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) into clearer oversight tools for products used in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, according to material reviewed by WIRED.

The new tools provide organizations, including DHS and ICE, more information on how their workers use Palantir software. Organizations can set up alerts for “concerning behavior,” like exfiltrating datasets, and search the session logs of individual users. They also allow organizations to see which users have viewed specific sets of information.

Palantir declined to comment.

Palantir regularly holds hack weeks, challenging engineers from across the company to experiment with and solve problems in its products. This hack week focused on Palantir’s work with DHS and ICE, which has come under fire from both external critics and workers who fear the company’s tools are empowering the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Bringing together employees from across Palantir, this year’s hack week focused on building new tools to provide additional oversight over user behavior on platforms like Foundry, the company’s data integration and analysis tool.

A noteworthy but perhaps not wholly unexpected trend has emerged at this year’s commencement ceremonies in the US: speakers being hit by a cacophony of boos whenever they mention artificial intelligence.

At the University of Central Florida, real estate development executive Gloria Caulfield’s statement that AI was “the next industrial revolution” was resoundingly jeered. Former Google CEO Eric Schdmit experienced a similar situation when he urged graduates at the University of Arizona to shape the future of AI. Record executive Scott Borschetta was booed when he started speaking about AI in production to graduating students at Middle Tennessee State University, and in fact doubled down by saying, “It’s a tool, make it work for you.” And at Glendale Community College, college president Tiffany Hernandez apologized when an automated AI-powered system being used to announce students’ names failed.

A commencement speaker who did not draw boos, but cheers, however, was Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who delivered the commencement address at Grand Valley State University in Michigan earlier this month.

Did you watch Margo’s Got Money Troubles?

Unlike ‘Euphoria,’ ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ wants to humanize the experience of sex workers rather than catastrophize the extremes of the profession.

TV has never shied away from portrayals of sex workers and the business of porn, but Apple TV’s adaptation of Rufi Thorpe’s 2024 novel of the same name, provides one of its most complex.

OnlyFans is now its own subgenre in pop culture. A decade since it launched, and with more than 4 million creators on the platform, the adult content site, and everything it represents about the future of work for Gen Z, has emerged as one of Hollywood’s most human narratives. As Margo makes clear, “I can’t just go and get another job.” The creator class, also a pain point in the current season of HBO’s ‘Euphoria,’ has become the ultimate allegory for society: online, we are all just entertainment for one another.

Google has announced Omni Flash, its new AI video model. One standout feature: “avatars,” a selfie deepfake tool that lets creators generate AI videos starring themselves. It’s similar to OpenAI’s Sora, but Google’s version is being built into a much bigger creator ecosystem.

Concerns began when the Trump administration launched mass deployments of ICE agents to cities like Chicago and Minneapolis, set against a backdrop of a much broader attack on elections and democracy from the Trump administration.

On February 2, Trump called to “nationalize” elections. A day later former White House adviser Steve Bannon told his podcast listeners, “We're going to have ICE surround the polls come November.”

While the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) later ruled out the possibility that ICE would be deployed to the polls while on a call with scores of election officials, on March 18, the new Homeland Security secretary Markwayne Mullin refused to rule out the possibility during his confirmation hearing, underlining the confusing and sometimes contradictory messaging coming from the administration that’s already having a chilling effect on voters and election workers.

Before he departed for his state visit to China last week, Trump was asked whether he’d be willing to deploy the National Guard or ICE agents to the midterms, to which he responded, “I would do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections.”

When WIRED asked for comment regarding ICE being deployed to the polls this week, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “President Trump has been clear: Securing our elections and ensuring only American citizens vote in American elections is a top priority.”

As an Ebola outbreak rages in central and East Africa, public health workers say that the response has been stymied by the Trump administration’s cuts to foreign aid and global health organizations.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Ebola outbreak an emergency “of international concern” on May 16. There is no vaccine or treatment for this strain of Ebola, known as Bundibugyo. There were over 530 confirmed cases and 134 deaths as of May 19, and both numbers are rising quickly. According to the CDC, 25 to 50 percent of people who contract the strain will die from it.

WIRED spoke to more than half a dozen global health experts who described how the Trump administration’s move to shutter the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), amid other funding cuts, has created a strained, increasingly fragmented disease prevention and response system in the lead up to this Ebola outbreak, one in which a severely reduced workforce already struggles with burnout.
