As Keanu Reeves gears up for the fourth installment of John Wick, WIRED got a chance to chat with the star and director Chad Stahelski to talk all things man-versus-machine, AI, The Matrix, and fighting for what’s real. #JohnWick4 📸: Art Streiber wired.trib.al/3AAiNQh 1/7 Image
During the Matrix movies Stahelski served as Reeves’ stunt double on set. Like the Wachowskis, Stahelski's John Wick movies prove computers can't fix bad ideas—something AI is threatening to disprove. 2/7 Image
Reeves and Stahelski are aware that new tech—AI, the metaverse, etc—is changing filmmaking, but both remain passionate about creating things that feel authentic and real. 3/7 Image
Despite living in the streaming era, Reeves and Stahelski still believe in the big screen. Creating an immersive experience for audience members was one of the reasons for the delay of #JohnWick4. 4/7
To uncover more about the dynamic duo before #JohnWick4 hits theaters on March 24th, read the full interview by @WaterSlicer. 📸: Art Streiber wired.trib.al/3AAiNQh 5/7 ImageImageImage

Since the 1920s, law enforcement and military experts have described less-lethal crowd-control devices as a “humane” alternative to conventional arms. Here’s how America’s sketchy “less-lethal” weapons industry exports its brand of violence world-wide: wired.trib.al/ST4hOTH 1/
In Popayán, Colombia, a small city about 250 miles southwest of Bogotá, in the spring of 2021, scores of young demonstrators were crouching behind a line of homemade shields, trying to hold back the authorities. 2/
Without warning, a rapid succession of deafening blasts echoed down the block. A barrage of blunt, barely visible projectiles ricocheted against the shuttered windows, off shields and bodies, as the street filled with a dense fog of tear gas.

Truck drivers were the heroes of the pandemic, but the life of a truck driver is often dangerous, tiresome, frequently overlooked, and faced with uncertainty. Andrew Kay rides shotgun to give us a look behind the glass. 📸: Benjamin Rasmussen wired.trib.al/oexJLJP 1/7
The average U.S. trucker salary in 1980 was $110,000. Today the median is a whopping $48,310. Much like cowboys, in the years prior, truck drivers spent a great deal of time going from one place to another, answering to no one—until technology came along. 2/7
If trucking was once a lifestyle of freedom, it is increasingly one of deranging captivity and surveillance. Drivers are now being asked to digitally log every aspect of their journey, even their naps. 3/7

The Richmond Artifex II, at $65, is an update to the original Artifex, which I have used since my days as a line cook. It holds an edge very well for a knife at this price and makes a great first step into the world of Japanese knives. 3/6 📸: Richmond wired.trib.al/ZMXOpgq
