Nintendo has revealed that Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, the first entry in the series for the Switch 2, features a new multi-protagonist structure.

Anthropic adds invisible watermark to all Claude-processed content

Anthropic has introduced a hidden watermark system for its Claude AI, designed to flag any content the model has processed. The watermark applies broadly, marking not just AI-generated text but also human-written content that Claude has merely edited or touched. The system is currently invisible, meaning recipients or readers cannot detect its presence at this stage. The move appears aimed at improving traceability and transparency around AI involvement in content creation. No timeline has been announced for when or whether the watermark will become publicly visible or detectable.

Toddler Dies From Brain-Destroying Amoeba in Case That May Guide Future Diagnoses

A toddler has died after being infected by a rare, brain-destroying amoeba, according to a case report published in a medical journal. The child presented with unusual neurological symptoms that initially made diagnosis difficult for treating physicians. Doctors involved in the case have documented their findings in hopes of helping future medical professionals identify similar infections more quickly. Early recognition of the disease is considered critical, as such amoebic infections are rare but almost always fatal. Medical experts believe the documented case could serve as a valuable reference for faster diagnosis and treatment in future patients.

ShieldFont Aims to Poison AI Training Data While Keeping Pages Readable

Physicists Find Strongest Evidence Yet for Existence of Glueballs

Scientists may have achieved a long-sought breakthrough in particle physics with the most compelling evidence to date for the existence of glueballs. Glueballs are hypothetical particles composed entirely of gluons, the carriers of the strong nuclear force, with no quark content. The discovery, reported by physicists, suggests that particles with a dominant glueball component can indeed exist in nature. This finding, if confirmed, would mark a significant milestone in understanding the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe.
