Jensen Huang: AI won’t erase the value of human storytelling

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that in the AI era, the importance of storytelling, creativity, and judgment won’t fade. Instead of chasing AI-proof majors, students should use AI to deepen learning and craft, with durable human skills like presence and listening remaining crucial as automation shifts work toward higher-level tasks. Huang also suggests the uniquely human—embracing imperfection and adaptability—will become more prized as AI advances.

Seven Sisters Myth May Date to 100,000 Years Ago

Using Gaia data, researchers argue the Pleiades would have looked like seven distinct stars 100,000 years ago, offering a plausible origin for cross-cultural 'Seven Sisters' myths and suggesting oral traditions could preserve a single star-based story for up to about 4,000 generations, though the claim is inferential and not proven.

Transcription probes memory, media, and time in Lerner’s sprawling novel

Ben Lerner’s Transcription is a densely braided meditation on technology, memory, and storytelling, following a narrator who interviews a dying mentor, reconstructs his words, and hauls family history across Providence, Madrid, and LA. Blending historiography, media theory, and emotional depth—especially a crisis around a teenage daughter’s health—the novel argues that meaning resides in cuts and splices, not transcripts, and that fiction can extend time rather than merely reflect it.

Planet of Lana II: A Quietly Stunning Odyssey Fueled by Mystery

Planet of Lana II builds on its predecessor with a visually lush, story-driven 2.5D puzzle-platformer.
