Bill van Zyll, Nintendo’s VP and general manager in Latin America, told Youtuber Coelho no Japão that the company will “go off what the consumer prefers,” and that it knows “how much the fans like” physical games.

I’m testing Microsoft’s new RTX Spark-powered laptop at the moment, and I’ll have some impressions on it later this week. I’d like to hear what you’d like to know about this particular laptop, so please drop a comment below and I’ll try and include answers in my initial impressions.

The state just released the complete version of a redacted suit first filed in January, with specifics on harmful conversations including encouraging one user to starve themselves.

Publishing staffers told Wired that bots are being used to make cover art, emails, rejection letters, copy for back covers, and marketing materials, including AI-generated promotional videos.

The president of the Signal Foundation refused to say whether she thinks AI doomerism is “hype or real” and passed on a bunch of other questions we never get to hear. But she did concede that AI has a “bro culture” problem and that she’d probably choose a bear in the woods over an AI with all her passwords. (Though both are bad.)

I’m pretty militant about keeping my unread count under control, but it’s hard to stay on top of things. As I’m writing this, I have 144 unread emails.
