Ozempic has been hailed as a miracle drug. It is the most well known of the GLP-1 medications, a class of drugs that can help regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar—and help those suffering from obesity or diabetes lose weight. Naturally, these drugs are very much in demand. But now there is a shortage of Ozempic and other GLP-1s, which has led to a swell of clones that purport to offer the same benefits and the same key ingredient, semaglutide, at lower prices. These clone drugs are easy to procure from telehealth providers, even if a buyer needs to lie about themselves a little bit to buy them.In this brave new weight-loss world, we're still coming to grips with how these drugs fit into our society. Part of that journey is the continued study about how GLP-1 drugs work—much of how they affect us is still unknown—and the continued debate about how much we should regulate and control their use.This week on Gadget Lab, we talk with WIRED writers Kate Knibbs and Emily Mullin about how GLP-1 medications like Ozempic work and what happens when they don't. We also talk about the current drug shortage and how that may get resolved.This episode originally aired July 11, 2024. Read the transcript.Show Notes:Read Kate's story about buying cloned Ozempic online. Read Emily's story about how Ozempic doesn't work for everyone. Read all the stories in WIRED's The Age of Ozempic series.Recommendations:Emily recommends staying cool this summer however you can. Kate recommends the HBO series John Adams, starring Paul Giamatti.

Web crawling—the act of indexing information across the internet—has been around for decades. It has primarily been used by search engines like Google and nonprofits like Internet Archive and Common Crawl to catalog the contents of the open internet and make it searchable. Until recently, the practice of web crawling has rarely been seen as controversial, as websites depended on the process as a way for people to find their content. But now crawling tech has been subsumed by the great AI-ening of everything, and is being used by companies like Google and Perplexity AI to absorb whole articles that are fed into their summarizing machines.This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior writer Kate Knibbs joins the show to talk about web crawling and the controversy over Common Crawl. Then we talk with Forbes' chief content officer and editor Randall Lane about how Perplexity.AI repurposed a Forbes article and presented it as its own story, without first asking permission or properly citing the source.Show Notes:Read Kate's story about how publishers are going after Common Crawl over AI training data. Read Randall's story about how Preplexity.AI copied the work of two Forbes reporters.Recommendations:Randall recommends his new horse racing league, the National Thoroughbred League.

Google has spent the past year lustily rolling out AI features across its platforms. But with each launch, it is becoming more clear that some of these so-called enhancements should have simmered a little longer. The latest update to stoke equal parts excitement and ridicule is AI Overviews, the new auto-generated summary boxes that appear at the top of some Google search results.In theory, AI Overviews are meant to answer questions and neatly summarize key information about people's search queries, offering links to the sources the summaries were pulled from and making search more immediately useful. In reality, these AI Overviews have been kinda messy. The information the summary confidently displays can be simply, and sometimes comically, wrong. Even when the AI Overview is correct, it typically only offers a slim account of the topic without the added context—or attribution—contained in the web pages it's pulling from. The resulting criticisms have forced Google to reportedly dial back the number of search queries that trigger AI Overviews, and they are now being seen less frequently than they were at launch.This week, we talk with WIRED writers Kate Knibbs and Reece Rogers about the rollout, how Google has been managing it, and what it's like to watch our journalism get gobbled up by these hungry, hungry infobots.Show Notes:Read Kate's story about Google trimming the frequency of its AI Overviews. Read Reece's story about how Google's AI Overviews copied his original work. Read Lauren's story about the end of Google Search as we know it.Recommendations:Kate recommends Token Supremacy by Zachary Small. Reece recommends the game Balatro.

Domain names have value, even when the websites that were once hosted there are shut down or abandoned. Prospectors will often swoop in and snatch up an unused domain, then erect a new website filled with clickbait articles. If the domain name used to rank highly in search results, the new clickbait articles will also rank highly, guaranteeing the prospector a steady stream of visitors searching the web for common phrases. These zombie sites are all over the web; you've probably landed on them many times yourself. But this shady market is poised to grow exponentially thanks to the proliferation of generative AI tools. Text generators like ChatGPT make it easier for prospectors to crank out clickbait articles at greater speed, feeding an already raging river of pablum.This week, Kate Knibbs tells us about her WIRED story on one of these entrepreneurs in the world of AI-generated clickbait hosted on squatted domains.This episode originally aired February 15, 2024. Read the full transcript.Show Notes:Read Kate's story about Nebojša Vujinović Vujo and his clickbait empire. Also read Kate's original investigation into what happened to The Hairpin, a popular blog for womens' writing that went defunct and was then reborn as a content mill.Recommendations:Kate recommends the novella Tusks of Extinction by Ray Nayler.

3 Body Problem is Netflix's new big, meaty prestige sci-fi series. Based on the book of the same name by author Liu Cixin, the show about an impending alien invasion is also one about how humans react to technological advancements and social movements that spiral out of control. Aliens aside, it tackles many of the same issues modern society is facing right now—political instability, fanaticism, and maybe an over-dependence on virtual reality. The new show is helmed by the former showrunners ofGame of Thrones and surprise surprise, this high-concept drama is in fact very good.This week on Gadget Lab, we talk all about 3 Body Problem—how the tech and cultural events in the show mirror the real world and how it stacks up against the likes of Game of Thrones and other prestige TV.Show NotesRead Amit Katwala's interview with the main showrunners of3 Body Problem.

You may only know TikTok as the massively popular social video app for phone-obsessed teens, but lately the app has been caught in the political fray. On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives approved a bipartisan bill that, should it become law, would require TikTok's parent company, the Chinese firm ByteDance, to sell the app or else see it banned on devices in the US. Lawmakers in the US have expressed concerns that data from American TikTok users is being shared with a Chinese company, and that therefore TikTok poses a threat to national security. This week on Gadget Lab, we're joined by WIRED's senior politics writer Makena Kelly to talk about those security concerns, what this bill means for the rest of the tech industry, and what could happen if TikTok is actually banned.Show Notes:Read Makena on the bill that would ban TikTok, and read Vittoria Elliott's update on Wednesday's vote. We also have instructions to get your videos off TikTok. Read all of WIRED's TikTok coverage.Recommendations:Makena recommends going to the office. (Really.)

Domain names have value, even when the websites that were once hosted there are shut down or abandoned. Prospectors will often swoop in and snatch up an unused domain, then erect a new website filled with clickbait articles. If the domain name used to rank highly in search results, the new clickbait articles will also rank highly, guaranteeing the prospector a steady stream of visitors searching the web for common phrases. These zombie sites are all over the web; you've probably landed on them many times yourself. But this shady market is poised to grow exponentially thanks to the proliferation of generative AI tools. Text generators like ChatGPT make it easier for prospectors to crank out clickbait articles at greater speed, feeding an already raging river of pablum.This week, Kate Knibbs tells us about her WIRED story on one of these entrepreneurs in the world of AI-generated clickbait hosted on squatted domains.Show Notes:Read Kate's story about Nebojša Vujinović Vujo and his clickbait empire.

In 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that protected abortion rights in the United States. Since then, many states have rolled back abortion services or made them outright illegal. That includes some states restricting access to abortion pills like mifepristone. Now, at the start of an election year in the US and a year that will bring more legal challenges to abortion rights, a new study shows that women are stockpiling abortion pills in record numbers—even if they aren't currently pregnant.This week, we welcome WIRED senior writer Kate Knibbs onto the show to talk about abortion medication, the trend of “advance provision” requests for mifepristone, and the coming legal fight over continued access to telehealth and in-person abortion services.Show Notes:Read Kate's story about how women in the US are stockpiling abortion pills.

Twitter may be officially called X now, but that rebranding is just one of the many changes that have hit the platform since Elon Musk took over. It's been one whole year since the mercurial billionaire purchased Twitter, and in that time the social platform has undergone big shifts in its user base, business model, and culture. It's become chaotic and unpredictable—some would say it's more dangerous than ever—yet even among all this upheaval, Twitter keeps on tweetin'. This week on Gadget Lab, we're commemorating the one-year anniversary of a Muskified Twitter. WIRED senior writer Kate Knibbs and Vox senior correspondent and host of the Land of the Giants podcast Peter Kafka join the show to talk about all the weirdness Twitter has gone through over the past year, and whether the platform is still as relevant as it once was. Show Notes: Listen to season seven of the Land of the Giants podcast, “The Twitter Fantasy.” Read Kate's “Unverify Me, Daddy” story. Follow all WIRED's coverage of the X (née Twitter) saga. Recommendations: Kate Recommends the book Do You Remember Being Born? by Sean Michaels. Peter recommends the book Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam, and also the show What We Do in the Shadows. Mike recommends the 1990 film Pump Up the Volume with Christain Slater and Samantha Mathis. Lauren recommends the second episode of the Land of the Giants: The Twitter Fantasy podcast she cohosts.

Back in May, the Writers Guild of America went on strike—partly over disputes about compensation, and partly over fears that studios could use generative artificial intelligence tools to replace human writers and creators. This month, when the actor's union SAG-AFTRA announced its own strike, things really started to heat up as some of the biggest and most recognizable movie stars joined the picket lines. Production in Hollywood has now mostly ground to a halt, negotiations with studios have stalled, and this stalemate looks as though it will persist for some time. What do these strikes mean for the movies, shows, podcasts, and video games we consume? Will the celebrity podcasts and chat shows also go dark? Are our streaming options now going to be limited to reruns and reality shows? Senior writer Kate Knibbs joins us from WIRED's Culture desk to discuss the shifts that technology, economics, and income disparity have wrought in Hollywood. Show Notes: Read our coverage of the WGA strike, the actors' strike. Learn how AI is being used in Hollywood and in video games. We also have a report from a Hollywood-less Comic-Con. Read WIRED's entire series on the future of entertainment. Recommendations: Kate recommends two music artists, Nation of Language and Yaya Bey.

Hey look, there's a new Twitter alternative. The text-based Instagram offshoot Threads launched a week ago, and in the days since, the platform racked up over a hundred million users. It's a huge showing for parent company Meta that has Mark Zuckerberg and other execs celebrating. Meanwhile, current Twitter owner Elon Musk is fuming as Threads threatens to unravel his platform's microblogging dominance. But despite its initial success, it's not yet clear whether Threads will emerge as the top social space. These early days of Threads may feel slightly less toxic than Twitter, but it's already being overtaken by cringey influencers and pseudo-sassy brand accounts. It's also just one more thing to sign up for, and could stretch just how much tolerance people have for all these new microblogging platforms. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior Kate Knibbs joins us to unspool the question of whether Meta's new social service is too much, too little, or just right. Show Notes: Read Kate's story about how it's time to stop making Twitter competitors. Read all about how Threads may be the thing that kills Twitter, and how to run Threads on your desktop. Or, you know, don't sign up for Threads at all until it becomes clear how much of your data it is harvesting. Recommendations: Kate recommends the book Natural Causes by Dan Hurley. Mike recommends Life Examined from KCRW. Lauren recommends season two of The Bear on Hulu. Kate Knibbs can be found on Twitter @Knibbs. Lauren Goode is @LaurenGoode. Michael Calore is @snackfight.

In the months since Elon Musk took over Twitter and started making all kinds of unpopular changes, people have been looking for other places online where they can hang out instead. Of all the Twitter-like social platforms to emerge as safe havens for the hordes—Mastodon, T2, Post, Notes—the one with the most buzz is Bluesky. It's popular because ex-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is one of the people behind it, but also because it's still in beta and sign-ups are invitation-only. Scarcity breeds demand. The cool people and internet insiders are already on Bluesky, and they are reporting that the new social network looks an awful lot like Twitter. Also, it's actually … fun. This week, we look at Bluesky's rise and discuss its growing pains. We also ask if any of these fledgeling social networks can ever hope to captivate us the way Twitter has. Show Notes: Here's Kate on why Bluesky is fun. The platform also has a nudes problem. Vittoria Elliott catalogs the current surge in hate speech and propaganda on Twitter. Relatedly, read about how Reddit has dealt with moderation of hate speech and misinformation. Recommendations: Kate recommends Middlemarch, the novel by George Eliot. Lauren recommends Baby J, John Mulaney's latest Netflix special. Mike recommends the album Under the Pink by Tori Amos. Kate Knibbs can be found on Twitter @Knibbs and does not have any Bluesky invites. Neither does Lauren Goode, who is @LaurenGoode on Twitter. Michael Calore is @snackfight.

A contestant on TVNZ's 'FBoy Island' will be edited out, after it was found he faced a suffocation charge in 2021. Wayde Moore was found not guilty, but the debacle has reignited a furore about the ethics of reality dating shows. The premise of the show is for three women to determine whether the 20 men joining them on an island are FBoys (simply there to compete for the cash) or nice guys (looking for love). Whether that's your idea of riveting television, or you'd rather watch the cricket, there's clearly an audience. But why? WIRED senior culture writer Kate Knibbs spoke to Susie Ferguson.
If you've opened Instagram recently, you've certainly seen Reels. The photo-sharing app has started aggressively pushing the TikTok-like video feeds onto its users, a move that has sparked a heated response. Longtime users, and even celebrities like Kylie Jenner, have been urging Instagram to ditch the feature, which in addition to showing you more viral videos also shows you fewer updates from your friends and loved ones. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri has defended the move, saying that Instagram is sticking with Reels and showing more videos in general, no matter how you or the Kardashians feel about that. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior writer Kate Knibbs joins us to rant about Reels and why all the social media platforms are copying TikTok now. Show Notes Watch Mosseri's recent video about Reels (on Twitter, of course). Read Kate's story about how Instagram keeps showing her sick kids. Recommendations Kate recommends the book The Value of a Whale: On the Illusions of Green Capitalism by Adrienne Buller. Lauren recommends the Jordan Peele movie Nope and also Jason Parham's WIRED review of the film.

The co-hosts of Celebrity Book Club, Lily Marotta and Stephen Phillips-Horst, join us to unpack the week that was. Then, The New York Times Magazine writer Marcela Valdes tells us about the efforts to diversify the publishing industry. Plus, has reality TV become a parody of itself? We ask Wired's Kate Knibbs.
Streaming TV was supposed to be a thing you did to relax. But these days you might grab a drink, kick up your feet, and then sit there paralyzed by an absolute cavalcade of options for what to watch. With so many shows and services of varying quality, the streaming ecosystem has become a bloated mess. And now some of the streaming giants are starting to buckle under their own weight. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior editor Angela Watercutter and senior writer Kate Knibbs join us to discuss how streaming has become such an overwhelming morass and where it goes from here. Show Notes: Read Kate's story about how reality TV has become a parody of itself. Read Angela's story about streaming services' obsession with the franchise series. And check out all of the stories from WIRED's series, “Why We Hate Streaming.” Recommendations: Angela recommends the show First Kill. Kate recommends Molly Lambert's podcast HeidiWorld.

Apple held its first product announcement event of the year on Tuesday. It showed off a bunch of new devices, including a new iPhone SE, a revamped iPad Air, and a big, beefy, expensive system called Mac Studio. But some of the most noticeable aspects of the show was what Apple didn't say. The company made no mention of the war in Ukraine, despite the fact that the company recently made the decision to stop selling its products in Russia. In a time of such worldwide turmoil, Apple's carefully crafted, deliberately self-focused showcase just felt … weird. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED product writer Brenda Stolyar joins us to talk all about Apple's announcements this week. Then WIRED senior writer Kate Knibbs pops in for a very important update about her Apple Music experiment. Show Notes: Read Brenda's story about the chonky new Mac Studio. Read Lauren's story about the new iPad Air, aka the proto-MacPad. Her story about Apple halting device sales in Russia is here. Check out everything Apple announced this week. Recommendations: Brenda recommends the Netflix show Love is Blind. Mike recommends Lauren Smiley's WIRED story “‘I'm the Operator': The Aftermath of a Self-Driving Tragedy”.

You probably know Spotify as a streaming music juggernaut, but its business model has grown far beyond just music. Last year, the company paid a reported $100 million dollars for exclusive distribution rights to the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. But now Rogan's penchant for interviewing controversial guests, some of whom propagate disinformation about Covid vaccines and climate science, has riled up Spotify users and artists alike. Prominent musicians like Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and India Arie said they would pull their music from the streaming service unless Spotify dumped Rogan. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior writer Kate Knibbs joins us to talk about the big Spotify dust-up. We also offer some advice about how to manage your streaming music library across platforms … just in case you might want to take your playlists to another service. Show Notes: Read Kate's story about the Spotify and Joe Rogan saga. Read Adam Speight's story about how to move your Spotify playlists to Apple Music. Reece Rogers has advice about getting started on YouTube Music. Recommendations: Kate Knibbs recommends the novel The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan. (Read her review of it here.)

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.

If you don't have access to public transportation or you're looking for a climate-friendly alternative to Uber, then you may have considered renting one of Revel's electric mopeds. But do micromobility companies like this actually make money? And how should micromobility fit into the larger ecosystem of getting from point A to point B? Kate Knibbs is a Senior Writer at WIRED and the author of ‘Freedom, Mayhem, and the Uncertain Future of Revel's Mopeds.' On this bonus episode of Reversing Climate Change, Kate joins Ross and guest host Radhika Moolgavkar, Head of Supply and Methodology at Nori, to discuss micromobility, describing how mopeds and e-bikes should be a complement to mass transit—not the dominant form of getting around. She offers insight on the potential profitability of a company like Revel, explaining how positioning itself as an electric vehicle company increases its chances of success and why safety issues are its greatest existential threat. Listen in to understand the role of subsidies in making micromobility ventures work and learn how Kate thinks about when to choose public transit, train travel, auto ownership, rideshare, or micromobility options.

Spoiler Alert: In this episode, we discuss the endings of several works, including Jenny Offill’s Weather, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, P.D. James’ The Children of Men, Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette’s Snowpiercer, the Paul Schrader film First Reformer, and the HBO series Game of Thrones. Probably some others too! A lot of fiction that deals with climate change 1) considers a very different future world, and 2) ends on a hopeful note. But a new genre is emerging that no longer fits into the category of speculative or science fiction. In doomer lit, climate change is simply part of the landscape—and a feeling of fatalism pervades the work. Kate Knibbs is a Senior Writer at WIRED covering culture, and is the author of ‘The Hottest New Literary Genre is Doomer Lit.’ Today, Kate joins Ross to explain what inspired her conception of the new (sub)genre, discussing what differentiates doomer lit from cli-fi and how Jenny Offill’s new novel Weather functions as a mood piece on climate change. Kate and Ross go on to explore the pros and cons of fatalism in art, the intersections between climate change and pandemic doomerism, and the way COVID-19 is likely to inform art and literature moving forward. Listen in for Kate’s insight around the challenge of writing great literature that engages in politics and learn why we have yet to develop a strong monster metaphor for climate change the way we have for other big societal issues. Key Takeaways [1:51] What inspired Kate’s conception of doomer lit Familiarize with best of climate change literature Weather not speculative/science fiction (climate change = part of world) [3:54] The distinction between cli-fi and doomer lit Cli-fi possibly hopeful about future of humanity Feeling of fatalism pervades doomer lit [9:53] Why we remember the worlds in sci-fi, speculative and historical fiction Hard to do both vivid world and character building Tend to remember universe vs. specifics of plot [16:49] Kate’s insight on the pros and cons of fatalism Humans generally bad at understanding how risk works Hard to grasp such radical changes in way things are [19:32] The connection between climate + pandemic doomerism No longer have to imagine either as possibility Examples of climate fiction using pandemic as jumping off point [24:12] The appetite for fatalism in art Some may not want to read something that reflects current anxieties Others want to consume art that speaks to moment [34:18] Why there is no monster metaphor for climate change Zombies and vampires as archetypes for other social problems Perhaps because scope of problem resists metaphor [40:05] The challenge of writing great literature that engages in politics Hard to write good book period Cannot prioritize moral message over narrative [46:09] Kate’s take on how COVID-19 will inform literature moving forward Spark conversations, art re: public health in general Likely to remain preoccupation for years to come Connect with Ross Nori Nori on Facebook Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori on Patreon Nori Newsletter Email podcast@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom Resources Kate at WIRED Kate on Twitter Kate’s Article on ‘Doomer Lit’ Heat of the Moment Podcast Weather by Jenny Offill The Road by Cormac McCarthy The Children of Men by P.D.
