What Job Apocalypse? Top AI CEOs Walk Back Doom Talk
For months, prominent AI CEOs, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, have warned that the technology could potentially wipe out millions of jobs and lead to a white-collar employment crisis. However, these CEOs have now acknowledged that the impact of AI on jobs has been far less severe than they anticipated. The shift from "AI will kill jobs" to "AI may create jobs" has raised eyebrows across the tech world. While several companies have announced layoffs and cited automation or AI tools as part of restructuring, broader employment data does not yet show a full-blown jobs apocalypse caused by AI. The change in tone is being watched closely as companies prepare for potential public market moves.

Gold, Silver prices tumble amid fresh US strikes on Iran, strong US dollar; should investors worry now?
Gold and silver prices fell in international markets on 28 May amid concerns that inflation could remain elevated longer than expected. Spot gold fell 0.8% to $4,419.60 per ounce, while US gold futures for June delivery dropped 0.7%. Silver prices also fell, with spot silver declining 1.7% to €73.34 per ounce. The biggest factor was the strengthening of the US dollar, making dollar-priced commodities like gold more expensive for holders of other currencies. The pressure increased after fresh US military strikes in Iran targeted a military site threatening American forces and commercial shipping activity near the Strait of Hormuz. Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook warned that the US central bank should keep short-term interest rates steady, but warned that tariffs, the Iran conflict, and a surge in artificial intelligence-related investments were increasing price pressures.

How a proposed green card application policy change would disrupt lives by assuming legal immigrants are evading the law - Europe News
The US government's proposed policy change could disrupt lives of legal immigrants by assuming they are evading the law. Currently, over half a million people apply for a green card from within the United States every year, allowing them to legally live and work in the country long-term. The proposed changes would require individuals returning to their home country to apply for the status. The draft policy states that nonimmigrants who entered the US as students are expected to pursue an immigrant visa and admission from outside the US if they wish to reside permanently in the US. The change could result in significant disruption to lives of individuals who have been clearing the legal requirements of adjustment of status.

A Dazzling Meteor Just 'Video Bombed' a Volcanic Eruption
A rare occurrence occurred during a volcanic eruption in the Philippines, where Earth's atmosphere spat out a fiery ball of bright green light that appeared to crash into the side of Mount Mayon, one of the world's most active volcanoes. The Philippine Space Agency has identified the suspected meteor as a "suspected meteor". Local experts determined that most of the fireball likely burned up long before reaching the ground, causing massive rockslides. The fireball was captured on video and CCTV, and dashcam footage from nearby cars. The energy of the meteor was estimated at 6.8 million kilograms of gunpowder. The rare occurrence was seen as a glimpse into the volatility of our planet's past.
