The illusion persists, despite all evidence. Americans are pessimistic about the economic future. They feel worse off than their parent's generation. Poll after poll shows that at best, only twenty percent of Americans say the economy is doing better than it was a year ago.  More than twenty percent of Americans are doing better than they were a year ago, by many measures. Unemployment is lower, wages are growing, inflation is declining. This is true for Americans across ages and classes. These are tangible improvements in household income that should be cheering people up. They are not. Why? What trick is our minds playing on us that we can't feel hopeful? Gilad Edelman, a senior editor at The Atlantic who covers the economy, answers the mystery. Want to share unlimited access to The Atlantic with your loved ones?

You may have heard of Web3. The idea has been around for several years but it's better known now thanks to its link to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. And yet, not everyone is sure exactly what it is and whether it's the internet of the future or just a dead-end trend.  Today, our guest is here to help break it all down in plain English. Gilad Edelman is a senior writer for WIRED magazine. He wrote the June cover story called “Inside the Web3 Revolution.” He learned all about Web3, got to know the people hoping to make it a mainstream reality, and shares the potential pros and cons of this latest buzzword.

Gilad Edelman is a senior writer for WIRED, covering the intersection of tech, politics, and law. Before that, he was executive editor of the Washington Monthly. He has a degree from Yale Law School.His recent article, “The Weak Argument Jeopardizing Tech Antitrust Legislation” is having an outsized impact on the conversation happening on Capitol Hill.

Technologists have been crowing about “the metaverse” for a long time now, and here at WIRED we've written about it quite a bit, too. But sometimes we're still unsure exactly how to define this next generation of the internet, which is contingent on 3D experiences (instead of the flat, 2D screens we're currently glued to) and also a persistent, continuous federated identity. Still confused? It's OK: On this week's Gadget Lab, we talk to Matthew Ball, a strategist, venture capitalist, and author, whose new book The Metaverse: And How It Will Revolutionize Everything, hits shelves July 19.  We ask Ball how he defines the metaverse, how the internet can possibly be reinvented when the current version is so driven by corporate interests, whether the metaverse should be regulated, and what a realistic vision of “interoperability” might be.  Show Notes Matthew Ball's book is The Metaverse: And How it Will Revolutionize Everything. Read Gilad's June cover story about Web3. Follow all of WIRED's metaverse coverage here. Recommendations Matthew recommends the show The Old Man on FX and the legal podcast about the US Supreme Court Strict Scrutiny. Gilad recommends trying out an electric car sometime.

If you work in an office, chances are you spend a lot of time on Slack. The workplace messaging platform has become an even more important tool in the work-from-home era. And it has been rolling out new stuff that's supposed to replicate the office atmosphere, online. Last year Slack introduced Huddles—a spontaneous audio room you can join right in Slack—and it quickly became became the fastest-adopted feature in Slack's history. Now the company is adding video to Huddles, inching toward becoming a full-fledged video conferencing service. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED writers Lauren Goode and Gilad Edelman chat about the Zoomification of Slack, whether we really need another video chat app, and what this all means for how we communicate online. Show Notes Read Lauren's story about how the future of Slack looks a lot like Zoom. Read Mat Honan's 2014 WIRED profile of Slack founder Stewart Butterfield. Here's Clive Thompson's piece about how it's time for “maximum viable product.” Recommendations Gilad recommends getting a chef's pan. Lauren recommends using the Calendar chatbot in Slack.

The cover story of this month's issue of WIRED magazine is “Paradise at the Crypto Arcade: Inside the Web3 Revolution” by Gilad Edelman. We interviewed Gilad about Web3 a couple months ago, and this week, we revisit that conversation. Web3 is the latest internet buzzword which encompasses an egalitarian vision of the web that's more reliable, based on trust, and, inevitably, built on the blockchain. This plan for the future is being pushed by startups, venture capitalists, and Silicon Valley bigwigs, all of whom stand to make some sweet, sweet cryptocurrency from a new breed of web app that takes the power from the platforms and puts it back in the hands of the people. Gilad joins us to talk about whether the reality of whatever Web3 becomes will ever live up to Silicon Valley's rosy vision of it. Gadget Lab will be back next week with a brand new episode.

The June cover story for Wired magazine is on a movement in tech that many see as having the potential to rewire not just the internet, but to produce a fundamentally more democratic and equitable society.   The story is titled “Paradise at the Crypto Arcade: Inside the Web3 Revolution,” and I had the chance to speak to its author, Wired senior writer Gilad Edelman.

This week host Derek E. Silva joins Gilad Edelman, a senior writer for WIRED, covering the intersection of tech, politics, and law. Prior to that, he was executive editor of the Washington Monthly. We take a deep dive into the truth about Section 230, the battle against disinformation, social media censorship, and the future of DAOs.

If you wanted to create an exclusive online community with a shared goal, how'd you go about it? If your answer is, "with crypto, obviously!" then you're in luck. DAOs (those are decentralized autonomous organizations, if that helps) are growing more popular with proponents of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies. But what's up for some debate is what these communities are actually good for, and what kind of impact this purposeful gatekeeping can have on the real world. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior writer Gilad Edelman joins us to talk about the topsy turvy world of DAOs and his own experience with creating one. Show Notes:  Read Gilad's story about his experimental DAO for punchlines.  Recommendations:  Gilad recommends calling the IRS (yes, seriously). Mike recommends the New Yorker Android app. Lauren recommends WIRED's beginner's guide to Discord. Gilad can be found on Twitter @GiladEdelman. Lauren Goode is @LaurenGoode.

When the real world's a mess, the metaverse that Facebook (er, Meta) is pitching might seem like a welcome refuge. Just strap on a headset and play some VR games in a sprawling digital realm. Fun for the whole family! At least, that's what WIRED senior associate editor Adrienne So has been turning to lately to keep her small kids occupied. But it's not all virtual puzzles and endless sunshine. Meta has a track record of privacy and ethical lapses in its business practices that may give people pause before they strap on a VR headset. And inevitably, this meta-space might be monetized through ads, the way the current internet is…though some technologists have better ideas than others around what that might look like, WIRED senior writer Gilad Edelman says.  This week on Gadget Lab, Adrienne and Gilad join the podcast to talk about the weird ins and outs of bringing your family into the metaverse, and whether anyone will actually want to stay there. Show Notes:  Read Adrienne's story about how her family is trapped in the metaverse. Read Gilad's Q&A with the creator of Second Life. Listen to our episode where Gilad and Kate Knibbs talk about NFTs. Recommendations:  Adrienne recommends booking a tattoo appointment ASAP if you're thinking of getting one, because lots of places are backed up right now. Gilad recommends mashed cauliflower. Lauren recommends the game Beat Saber. Adrienne So can be found on Twitter @adriennemso. Gilad Edelman is @GiladEdelman. Lauren Goode is @LaurenGoode. Michael Calore is @snackfight.

Web3! It's the latest internet buzzword which encompasses an egalitarian vision of the web that's more reliable, based on trust, and, inevitably, built on the blockchain.

Follow Bay Current on Twitter. New documents show that Facebook has long been aware that much of its content is disinformation and flat out dangerous. But the social media giant has prioritized click and engagement over meaningful corrective action. Hosted by Matt Pitman. Guest: Wired Magazine political reporter Gilad Edelman. Read his terrific article here.

Facebook has once again found itself in the hot seat. Things heated up for the company after a whistleblower shared thousands of pages of Facebook internal documents with The Wall Street Journal and Congress last month. The documents reveal that the company had researched how its apps affect the people who use them—and that Facebook often chooses to put its business interests ahead of the wellbeing of its users. This week on Gadget Lab, we talk with WIRED politics writer Gilad Edelman about the overall impact of the whistleblower's revelations, whether anything will change internally at Facebook, and how plausible it is that even big, sweeping changes to the platform here in the US could fix Facebook's issues overseas.  Show Notes:  Read The Wall Street Journal's Facebook Files series. Read Gilad's story about the Facebook whistleblower. He also wrote about why Facebook is not too big to moderate. Here's Gilad's story about Section 230 (and also our episode of this show about it). And here's how you can permanently delete your Facebook account. Recommendations:  Gilad recommends listening to CDs. Mike recommends the segment from Last Week Tonight about misinformation. Lauren recommends swiping right on dates (the fruit, that is) and also Kara Swisher's Sway podcast, particularly the episodes with Monica Lewinsky and Matthew McConaughey.

"We need the industry to develop guidelines, and values, and professional ethics," says Gilad Edelman, a journalist at WIRED who covers the politics of technology.Free speech, misinformation, and content moderation on social media platforms like Facebook have been playing a significant role in political discourse since President Trump and the COVID-19 pandemic. To what extent do companies have a right or responsibility to patrol their platforms when content might be harmful? Gilad shifts this conversation from one-or-the-other principles to a case-by-case, comprehensive decision-making process. 

It's no secret that we were not at all impressed with WIRED's recent cover story about Section 230. The resulting conversation sparked a Twitter debate with the story's author, Gilad Edelman, and we thought... why not bring it to the podcast? So on this week's episode, Gilad joins Mike to discuss and debate the story, our response, and Section 230.

There's no way the lawmakers who drafted Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act way back in 1996 could have known that it would go on to determine the role user-generated content would play in the explosive growth of the internet. Those Congressmen probably also wouldn’t have guessed that Section 230 would end up, 25 years later, becoming a central sticking point in the debate over free speech online. The complex history of CDA 230 is as full of as many twists and turns as there are differing interpretations of what the law actually says. On this episode of Gadget Lab, WIRED senior politics reporter Gilad Edelman joins us yet again to talk about the particulars of Section 230. He’s the author of this month’s WIRED cover story on this very topic. We also talk about the Facebook Oversight Committee's ruling about the company’s decision to temporarily ban president Trump from the platform. Show Notes:  Read Gilad’s cover story about Section 230 here. Read his story about the Facebook Oversight Committee’s decision here. Trump’s DIY Twitter feed is a thing that exists. Watch the video of Aeropress inventor Alan Adler here. Recommendations:  Gilad recommends Aeropress. Mike recommends the Shop app. Lauren recommends the podcast How to Save a Planet.

Facebook, Apple, and Google may have very different approaches to user privacy, but they do have something in common: All three companies are currently being investigated for antitrust violations. Facebook is being accused of allowing its market dominance to erode its data privacy protections. Apple and Google are being investigated, in part, for enforcing their own privacy safeguards at the expense of competitors—Apple because of the changes in iOS 14.5, and Google because of coming updates to its Chrome browser. It's a messy, complicated tangle of events. The situation also reveals the sphere of incredible power these companies operate in, where even tiny software changes can affect the data of billions of users. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED cybersecurity writer Lily Hay Newman and WIRED politics writer Gilad Edelman join us to talk about how giant tech companies handle your privacy. Show Notes:  Read Lily’s story about ad tracking in iOS 14.5 here. Read Gilad’s story about how privacy and antitrust are on a collision course here. Read the New York Times story about the beef between Mark Zuckerburg and Tim Cook here. Recommendations:  Lily recommends hugs.

Today, I'm talking with my friend and multitalented artist Scott Philip Goergens about Michael Hankeke's Caché (2005). Of course, I hadn't seen the movie, so mostly we talk about what kind of movies affect us and how just delightful it is trying to make a living as an artist in a society that can't even agree that art has any value to it.  Speaking of art, Scott's feature directorial debut 29 Needles is now available for preorder on Blu-Ray from Unearthed Films! Preorders are vitally important to independent artists, so if the movie looks like something that might be up your alley, please, please place that preorder here: https://www.unearthedfilms.com/catalog/tefm/29needles.php  During this conversation, I mention two articles that are worth reading if you happen to live in this weird future that 50s sci-fi never fathomed. One is 5 Reasons the Future Will Be Ruled by BS by Jason Pargin (https://www.cracked.com/article_18817_5-reasons-future-will-be-ruled-by-b.s..html) and the other is Ad Tech Could Be the Next Internet Bubble by Gilad Edelman (https://www.wired.com/story/ad-tech-could-be-the-next-internet-bubble/). 

My colleague Gilad Edelman has found what he calls the smoking gun in the anti-trust case against Facebook. More here: https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-ftc-antitrust-case-smoking-gun/.
