Does the public have a right to see gruesome photos of animal test subjects taken by a public university? That question underpins an ongoing court battle between UC Davis and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, an animal welfare group, which is fighting for the release of photos of dead monkeys used in tests of Elon Musk–owned Neuralink's brain-chip implants.

Also this week, an investigation by the Markup, copublished with WIRED, analyzed crime predictions by Geolitica (formerly PredPol) in Plainfield, New Jersey, and found that they accurately predicted crime less than 1 percent of the time. As WIRED previously reported, Geolitica is shutting down at the end of this year and being sold for parts to SoundThinking, maker of the gunshot-detection system ShotSpotter.
