WIRED Roundup: Why GPT-5 Flopped
On this episode of "Uncanny Valley," we dig into WIRED's latest—from crude deportation memes to GPT-5's negative reception.
In today’s episode, our host Zöe Schiffer is joined by WIRED’s senior politics writer Jake Lahut to run through five of the best stories we published this week—from how the Trump administration is creating and sharing memes to make fun of deportations, to NASA ’s ambitious goal to put nuclear reactors on the moon. And so the directive laid out by Duffy is to quickly design, launch, and deploy an operational 100 kilowatt reactor to the lunar South Pole within five years that would be built with commercial partners, and experts say this would be difficult, but not completely impossible. I think one thing that happened, and again I'm pulling this from conversations with a bunch of sources inside the company, is that they really wanted to optimize for coding ability this time, because that's really been Claude's edge, Anthropic's AI model, and obviously it's a huge revenue driver.
