Nintendo wants to make sure its history doesn’t disappear. The company is hiring a digital archivist to save old development documents, source code, prototypes, hardware records and stories from longtime employees.
The idea is to preserve all the knowledge behind Nintendo’s games before it’s lost as veteran developers retire. The archive could also help future teams when working on remakes, remasters or new games.
The job is a 12-month contract, but the goal is to build a system that Nintendo can keep using for years.

Scientists have long known that noise from human activities—from the roar of jet engines to the whir of ship propellers—can harm animals, stunting their growth and even scrambling their eggs. But it’s been unclear just how pervasive the problem is.
A massive analysis reveals the impacts are far more widespread than even researchers thought.
Data from 177 species that live on land and in the water reveal the vast majority are impacted by sound in some way, fundamentally altering their biology and behaviors, and causing many to die early.

New: AI systems may soon be powerful enough to do harms in the biological realm, Tencent’s chief AI scientist Yao Shunyu said in a rare public appearance yesterday in Hong Kong. scmp.com/tech/big-tech/artic…
Outlining his team’s plans to ramp up AI-enabled scientific research, Yao called for open model developers to “be very responsible and very serious” about emerging security and safety risks.
Tencent has said it stripped out the cyber hacking capabilities of its latest model Hy4 and concluded that its biological capabilities remained “well below” its high-risk threshold. It has also pledged to release a comprehensive safety card for the model once its weights are released, with a focus on cyber and bio risks.

🏭 | El 0.1% más rico de México contamina más que los ultrarricos europeos. Dentro de esa élite, Carlos Slim y Germán Larrea son responsables de la mitad de las emisiones de CO₂.
La desigualdad climática en México es una de las más graves del mundo.

When I read it some time ago, I remember one of my very first thoughts was that wha dignified children in ways very few stories do. A manga that advocates for them to be treated as their own person with an individuality, values, ideas & thoughts that should be taken into account

Imagine your job was to make the public doubt Long COVID. You wouldn't try to prove it isn't real. You'd just make it look unsettled, forever. That's the playbook that kept tobacco and climate science "debatable" for decades. Here's what it would look like applied to Long COVID:
Besides, there is this fixation and shipping of the two male teacher adults in the story, when the real focus is on Coco, a girl, and her girl friends. Most of the story is from their point of view.
Witch hat atelier has always been a manga about children as an oppressed class, but that's a concept to hard to think about for fandomites

I would love if we could channel the datacenter backlash into curbing the excesses of Big Tech in general. Get screens out of cars. Get computers out of refrigerators. Stop surveilling everything all the time, stop forcing me into the app, stop trying to steal my data.

I listened to something interesting this morning about The Economy of Attention. I think it can be employed to Ao3 seeing as the Economy of Attention has shifted to being vitally important to younger generations. They need the engagement otherwise their attention feels wasted

The desire to protect land as a relative not as a resource, and children as humans not a property is where revolutionary potential lives. And it requires a lot of education in tandem to unlearn colonial informed behaviors & beliefs while reconnecting with land and self.

And if I say that tiktok and twt wannabe influencers ruined the experience bc they started treating fics the same way they treat books on booktok, made it about consumerism and making a name out of rating and recommending fics and writers as if they’re not a real person?

This is one of the most mind-blowing stop-motion films we've seen this year. It comes from India.
Using traditional ceramics, Studio Eeksaurus invented a new style of animation. We're exploring:

I’m surprised that no one has written a cultural essay about how the response to AO3’s collapse reflects a business mindset driving engagement in the arts (i.e. regular people talking about box office receipts as if they’re shareholders) and rampant individualism over community.
