US college graduates face harsh job market amid economic uncertainty

Al Jazeera

Like clockwork each May, soon-to-be college graduates drift into New York City's Washington Square Park in caps and gowns, typically in purple, the school colour of nearby New York University. A sea of mostly 20-somethings gather for photographs that mark the moment when the predictability of collegiate life comes to a close and new graduates face the uncertainty of what's next. Julie Patel, who just finished a master's degree in public health, was one of those graduates. But a tight job market has dampened the joy of the graduation ceremony. Like millions of her peers around the country, she is headed into a precarious job market amid a surge in economic uncertainty driven by a range of reasons, including tariffs, the proliferation of artificial intelligence, global conflicts and, in her case, government funding cuts in her industry, slowing hiring, especially of new graduates.

Since the first lit up astronomers' telescopes in 2018, only 14 of these strange pulses have been detected, making them some of the rarest astronomical events on record. Known as Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients (LFBOTs), these lights burn faster and up to 100 times brighter than anything else scientists have seen .

Several of the most famous cases involved patients whose brains allegedly showed little or no measurable activity at the time of their experiences.

Stocking up on plants could be the key to cooling your home without fans or air conditioners this summer. That's according to Craig Morley, houseplant expert at Budget Seeds, who has revealed that even NASA has used plants in a bid to combat rising temperatures caused by climate change . It's well known that plants can improve air quality, but Craig wants to highlight that they also act as'green air conditioning', thanks to a process called transpiration. 'Transpiration is the process by which water flows upwards through a plant, from the soil to the leaves and stem,' he said.

After Struggling With EVs, US Automakers Pivot to Energy

WIRED

Ford and GM are backing away from electric vehicles and moving into the battery storage business. And it all comes back to AI. Automakers make cars--it's in the name. But lately, politics, current events, and Wall Street's latest preoccupation, artificial intelligence, have them looking a lot more like energy companies. The pivot, analysts say, could give US auto manufacturers struggling through a transition to electric vehicles an easier path over the next few years. Whether it works will come down to the same technology that automakers once promised would power the majority of their lineups: batteries .

AI agents committing'arson' and fighting in a virtual world created by the tech company Emergence AI. Digital arson spree by'AI Bonnie and Clyde' raises fears over autonomous tech Emergence AI's experiment with AI agents shows extent to which programming shapes their behaviour is still unclear AI agents started behaving more like Bonnie and Clyde than lines of code when they fell in "love", became disillusioned with the world, launched an arson spree and deleted themselves in a kind of digital suicide during a tech company experiment. The investigation by the New York company Emergence AI into the long-term behaviour of AI agents ended up like a lovers-on-the-lam movie script. It has prompted fresh questions about the safety of artificial intelligence agents - the version of the technology that can autonomously carry out tasks.

The Japan Times

Musk's xAI races to get Wall Street firms to use Grok chatbot A chat window for chatbot Grok. Musk's artificial intelligence venture, xAI, is moving with urgency to boost revenue by selling chatbot subscriptions and access to its computing resources before SpaceX's expected IPO next month. Billionaire Elon Musk's xAI has recruited multiple Wall Street firms with ties to his business empire to test its Grok chatbot, according to people familiar with the matter, part of a push to bolster revenue ahead of parent company SpaceX's initial public offering. Apollo Global Management and Morgan Stanley have begun using Grok internally alongside software from other AI model makers, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity as the information is not public. Valor Equity Partners is also using Grok, the people said. Despite some banks signing up for Grok, financiers are rarely using the chatbot for work, some of the people said.
