The 'biggest puzzle game ever' is being released – its creator explains why it took 10 years

BBC News

For ten years, Jonathan Blow has been working with a small team on what he believes is the biggest puzzle game ever made. The American developer is renowned as one of the fathers of the modern indie game movement, creating the genre-defining puzzle-platformer Braid in 2008. Now, a decade on from his last project, The Witness, The Order of the Sinking Star is due to be released on Thursday - a game with roughly 1,500 puzzles that he estimates could take around 500 hours to complete. So why make something the majority of players may never get even halfway through, let alone finish? Some people decide what to make based on what's practical or what makes business sense, Blow says.

Google told to halt work on datacentres in Finland over environmental concerns

The Guardian

Google has been ordered to temporarily stop work on two datacentres in Finland after failing to do the necessary environmental impact assessments on its construction sites. The planned datacentres in Muhos and Kajanni are part of a €13bn (£11bn) project across multiple sites in northern Finland by the technology company amid huge demand for space to house online infrastructure. It comes after it emerged that Tuike Finland Oy, the company representing Google, had felled 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest in Muhos without completing an environmental impact assessment (EIA). In Kajaani, the company has reportedly been logging across just under 200 hectares (494 acres) of land. The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation said the sites had been reduced to "sand", blaming the oversights on the "overheated" market for new datacentres.

OpenAI Is Pissing Off a Bunch of Mathematicians--Again

WIRED

"There's a perception of mobster behavior" from leading AI companies, one mathematician tells WIRED as OpenAI prepares to release more than 100 new solutions to unsolved problems. In August, OpenAI convened around 40 mathematicians to discuss what to do if AI outpaces human capabilities in the field. The company hinted that its powerful models had solved hundreds of long-standing math problems, say people who were in attendance, but company representatives assured attendees it would not release the solutions all at once--an assurance OpenAI spokesperson Lindsay McCallum says the company is "not aware of"--and, worried by how the community might react, sought advice on how to publish the findings. Attendees responded with "a mixture of excitement and dread," but the meeting was a promising first step, recalls Northwestern University mathematician Bryna Kra. The group, she tells WIRED, asked the firm not to just publish them in a blog or tweet, like they had done with 10 problems earlier that month .
