A tech industry insider's guide to where to stay, eat, work, and play while visiting the tech scene's mothership, San Francisco. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. You've probably read plenty of recent news stories about how San Francisco is a failed city. Our infrastructure is crumbling, our streets are scary, our social fabric is torn and frayed. Most of that stuff is false. Yes, San Francisco has issues, but they're the same problems nearly all US cities are facing as they struggle to reorient themselves to our new, post-pandemic economic reality. The "doom loop" narrative that's often repeated in the national press is a gross exaggeration. The truth is that San Francisco is thriving.

At its peak, our lunar satellite will appear eight per cent larger and 16 per cent brighter than usual. The phenomenon occurs because the moon's orbit is not perfectly circular around Earth, meaning at times it is slightly closer or slightly further away.

The newly discovered P. mikazuki is a tribute the famous warrior Date Masamune. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. A team of university students in Japan identified an entirely new species of the mighty Portuguese Man O'War . Described in a study recently published in the journal, the creature's distinct features and fearsome venom have earned it a name that honors a famous 16th century samurai warrior. It's easy to mistake the Portuguese Man O'War () for a jellyfish .

The Case That A.I. Is Thinking ChatGPT does not have an inner life. Yet it seems to know what it's talking about. How convincing does the illusion of understanding have to be before you stop calling it an illusion? Dario Amodei, the C.E.O. of the artificial-intelligence company Anthropic, has been predicting that an A.I. "smarter than a Nobel Prize winner" in such fields as biology, math, engineering, and writing might come online by 2027. He envisions millions of copies of a model whirring away, each conducting its own research: a "country of geniuses in a datacenter." In June, Sam Altman, of OpenAI, wrote that the industry was on the cusp of building "digital superintelligence." "The 2030s are likely going to be wildly different from any time that has come before," he asserted. Meanwhile, the A.I. tools that most people currently interact with on a day-to-day basis are reminiscent of Clippy, the onetime Microsoft Office "assistant" that was actually more of a gadfly. A Zoom A.I. tool suggests that you ask it "What are some meeting icebreakers?" or instruct it to "Write a short message to share gratitude." Siri is good at setting reminders but not much else. A friend of mine saw a button in Gmail that said "Thank and tell anecdote." When he clicked it, Google's A.I. invented a funny story about a trip to Turkey that he never took. The rushed and uneven rollout of A.I. has created a fog in which it is tempting to conclude that there is nothing to see here--that it's all hype. There is, to be sure, plenty of hype: Amodei's timeline is science-fictional.

Moctezuma's pod continues their dominance in the Gulf of California. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Orca whales are skilled pack hunters with an ever-growing list of prey . Recently, ocean researchers discovered that the apex predators aren't afraid of taking on equally formidable foes-- great white sharks . Now, a study published on November 3 in the journal documented even more remarkable hunting behavior.

Plus: the US is poised to ban TP-Link devices over the company's alleged links to Russia Why do so many people think the Fruit of the Loom logo had a cornucopia? Quick question: Does the Fruit of the Loom logo feature a cornucopia? Many of us have been wearing the company's T-shirts for decades, and yet the question of whether there is a woven brown horn of plenty on the logo is surprisingly contentious. According to a 2022 poll, 55% of Americans believe the logo does include a cornucopia, 25% are unsure, and only 21% are confident that it doesn't, even though this last group is correct. There's a name for what's happening here: the "Mandela effect," or collective false memory, so called because a number of people misremember that Nelson Mandela died in prison. Yet while many find it easy to let their unconfirmable beliefs go, some spend years seeking answers--and vindication.

The $226 million project uses ocean breezes and seawater to stay cool. China is submerging data centers into the ocean to keep them cool. China has completed the first phase of construction of what it claims is the world's first underwater data center (UDC). Located in Shanghai's Lin-gang Special Area with a price tag of roughly RMB 1.6 billion ($226 million), it's a significant milestone in the quest for sustainable solutions to the growing energy demands of China's computing infrastructure. Powered entirely by wind energy, the initiative has a total power capacity of 24 megawatts.

Thousands of entrepreneurs are trying to rebuild the economy around AI. I set out to see how they're actually doing it. Earth, it's said, is home to more than 10,000 AI startups. The figure is a guess, of course--startups come, startups go. But last year, more than 2,000 of them got their first round of funding. As investors shovel their billions into AI, it's worth asking: What are all these creatures of the boom doing? I decided to approach as many recent AI founders as I could. The goal was not to try to pick winners but to see what it's like, on the ground, to build AI products--how AI tools have changed the nature of their work; how terrifying it is to compete in a crowded field.
