Hawaii restores rare coral to reef a decade after wild colonies disappeared

In 2015, marine biologists collected fragments of rare Hawaiian coral from Kaneohe Bay to save them from extinction. The fragments were cultivated into mature colonies through a land-based nursery program over several years. Once grown, the corals were reintroduced to their original habitat in Kaneohe Bay. Subsequent field assessments confirmed that the transplanted colonies had successfully adapted to the reef environment. The project highlights the potential of coral ark initiatives as a conservation tool against species loss.

Meta's Secret 'Project OT' Aimed to Cut Teams by 60% Using AI Agents

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg quietly ran an internal initiative called Project OT, aimed at making the company 'AI native' by drastically reducing team sizes using AI agents. Executives explored scenarios where some departments could be cut by as much as 60%. A first round of layoffs in May 2026 eliminated 8,000 jobs, but a planned second wave in November was cancelled following employee backlash over keystroke monitoring and insufficient evidence of AI-driven productivity gains. Meta has since reversed course on its flatter organisational structure, asking Applied AI staff to return to managerial roles.
