OpenAI's Altman says AI unlikely to lead to 'jobs apocalypse'
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on Tuesday (May 26, 2026) the rapid development and adoption of AI would not lead to a global "jobs apocalypse" and the technology had not claimed as many white-collar jobs as he had feared. Speaking virtually at a Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) conference in Sydney, Mr. Altman said he was initially concerned about the impact AI would have on global employment levels.

England player ratings: Lawrence, Cox, Gay selection headache as all impress
England secured a significant eight-wicket victory over Pakistan in the third Test at Edgbaston, completing a home series whitewash. Dan Lawrence stood out, earning Player of the Match honors with a solid fifty, two wickets, and a remarkable slip catch. His performance, alongside impressive contributions from Emilio Gay and Jordan Cox, has created a selection dilemma for the team moving forward.
Ben Duckett struggled throughout the series, failing to make an impact with the bat. In contrast, Gay managed a half-century but fell for a duck in the second innings, raising questions about his spot in the lineup. Jordan Cox, however, showcased resilience with a calm unbeaten fifty, which helped steer England to victory. Joe Root also played a crucial role, scoring a vital 62 not out when the team needed it most.
Harry Brook continued to be a consistent performer, though he missed out on a century. Lawrence’s all-around skills, including his bowling and fielding, have solidified his case for a permanent place. Jamie Smith contributed well before an injury sidelined him for the second innings, while Gus Atkinson had a challenging series but showed promise in his bowling. Ollie Robinson was impressive with both bat and ball, further establishing his role in the team. Overall, England's performance sets a positive tone as they prepare for future challenges.

Has an Indian disruptor just built the world’s lightest off-road helmet?
A new Indian company claims to have created the world’s lightest off-road helmet, which is definitely intriguing. While it’s easy to be skeptical about such bold claims, especially from a lesser-known brand, the helmet is made from carbon fiber, a material known for its strength-to-weight ratio. This could mean better protection without the bulkiness that often comes with off-road gear.
What’s particularly interesting is the focus on affordability. Many high-quality helmets can be quite pricey, so if this one manages to balance safety and cost, it could be a game changer for riders looking for both performance and value.
As with any new product, it’s essential to wait for independent testing and reviews to see how it holds up in real-world conditions. But if the claims are backed by solid evidence, this helmet could really shake up the market.
Trump Goons Unload on ‘Freak’ Journalist Over Natalie Harp
Natalie Harp was in Ireland with Donald Trump. Naturally. The president’s 35-year-old aide—who has become a near-constant presence at his side—followed her boss on his two-day trip, prompting journalist Aaron Rupar to post a photo of her with the simple observation: “Look who made the trip to Ireland.” That apparently was enough to set off the White House’s Rapid Response 47 team. Rather than ignore the post, the taxpayer-funded communications operation lashed out by calling Rupar a “sick, deluded freak” who posts “creepy things” from behind his keyboard.
