Sign inAs debate continues over AI’s true impact on the labor force, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said some companies are engaging in “AI washing” when it comes to layoffs, or falsely attributing workforce reductions to the technology’s impact. “I don’t know what the exact percentage is, but there’s some AI washing where people are blaming AI for layoffs that they would otherwise do, and then there’s some real displacement by AI of different kinds of jobs,” Altman told CNBC-TV18 at the India AI Impact Summit in February. AI washing has gained traction as emerging data about the tech’s impact on the labor market tells a muddied, inconclusive story about how the technology is destroying human jobs—or if it has yet to touch them. A study published in February by the National Bureau of Economic Research, for example, found that of thousands of surveyed C-suite executives across the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Australia, nearly 90% said AI had no impact on workplace employment over the past three years following the late-2022 release of ChatGPT. However, prominent tech leaders like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei have warned of a white-collar bloodbath, with AI potentially wiping out 50% of entry-level office jobs. Others like

Prosecutors have also charged Allen with the discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, but until Pirro's comments, law enforcement officials had not disclosed whose bullet hit the agent.

A growing number of car buyers are opting for cheaper, more basic vehicles, a sign that average new vehicle prices near $50,000 are pushing drivers to rethink what they actually need.Many buyers "just want something to get them from A to B, and they don't want to pay a lot of money," says Amelia Dalgaard, founder of Motorhead Mama, an automotive advice site.Instead of bigger SUVs or higher trims — versions of a model with more features and elevated prices — many shoppers are sticking with simpler options like compact sedans, entry-level pickups or the most basic version on the dealer's lot. Sales of lower-cost models and base trims have risen in recent years as vehicle prices have climbed, according to automaker data.That often means simpler interiors: cloth seats, manual adjustments, analog gauges, physical buttons and dials and a more modest touchscreen."Would I like to have roof rails, heated seats or trailer capacity? Sure. Do I need them? Not at all," says Javier Fernandez, a Pennsylvania driver who bought a base 2024 Nissan Versa.Buyers are increasingly focused on value, industry experts tell CNBC Make It, even as options near $30,000 have shrunk and automakers continue to prioritize higher-priced models.More buyers
The Perseus Star crude oil tanker departs the Port of Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, Texas, US, on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026.Eddie Seal | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThe Port of Corpus Christi has never been busier as tankers from around the world flock to the U.S. Gulf Coast to load up on crude oil during the Iran war. The Texas port was the third-largest oil export terminal in the world before the war behind Ras Tanura in Saudi Arabia and Basra in Iraq. Its importance has only grown since, as U.S. crude oil exports have surged to a record and the two big Persian Gulf ports are largely cut off from the world due to Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. oil exports have jumped to 5.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in April, a more than 30% increase over the 3.9 million bpd exported in February before the war, according to data from Kpler. March was the busiest month in the history of the Port of Corpus Christi, and the first quarter was its busiest quarter ever, said CEO Kent Britton. Oil exports have increased to about 2.5 million barrels per day since the war started compared

Iran’s latest proposal to the United States calls for issues between the two countries to be resolved within 30 days and aims to end the war rather than extend the ceasefire, according to Iran’s state-linked media. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he was reviewing a new Iranian proposal to end the war but also expressed doubt it would lead to a deal.“I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to humanity, and the world, over the last 47 years,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.Iran’s 14-point proposal calls for an end to the war, rather than just an extension of the truce. The proposal, a rebuttal to the U.S. nine-point plan, also calls for the U.S. lifting sanctions on Iran, ending the naval blockade, withdrawing forces from the region, and ceasing all hostilities, including Israel’s operations in Lebanon, according to the semiofficial Nour News agency, which has close ties to the country’s security organizations.

As healthcare costs soar, it's not only individual Americans feeling the financial pain and looking to make trade-offs. Employers are scouring for ways to cut back and generous paid parental leave is among the employee benefits on the chopping block.Zoom Communications announced tweaks to its parental leave policy to bring the benefit more in line with market norms. Zoom employees who give birth now have access to 18 weeks of paid leave, down from 22 to 24 weeks previously, a spokesperson said. Non-birthing parents receive 10 weeks from 16 weeks.Zoom is not alone in scrutinizing some of the more generous employee benefits in the market. More changes can be expected as employers set their 2027 budgets and are seeing red over rising healthcare costs. For some companies, healthcare cost increases will run into the low double-digits, according to Rich Fuerstenberg, senior partner in Mercer's health practice. That's when the CFO enters the picture, looking for areas where benefits can be pared back. "When that happens, everything is on the table," Fuerstenberg said. He's received a few requests from companies to adjust parental leave programs, especially if their offers are more generous than what competitors typically offer. "If I can't show

American families are being wrecked by two parallel shortages: housing and childcare. And increasingly, experts say these two crises are feeding each other. The U.S. is short roughly 4 million homes, according to an analysis published by Realtor.com in early March. That’s led to “sustained home price growth and pushing homeownership further out of reach, particularly for younger households,” Realtor.com economists Hannah Jones and Danielle Hale wrote. At the same time, the country is missing an estimated 4.2 million childcare slots, a September 2025 study by the Bipartisan Policy Center shows. That massive shortage is the result of years of underfunding compounded by the pandemic, which shuttered roughly 16,000 providers. Both the housing crisis and childcare crisis are dire on their own. But many U.S. parents are experiencing both simultaneously. The costs of renting or owning, along with childcare, come due at the same time, on the same paycheck. Those who study these problems most closely say these problems no longer exist separately. “Families with young kids are facing this double whammy,” Yuliya Panfil, director of the Future of Land and Housing Program at New America, told Realtor.com. “If they don’t pay for child care, then they can’t work, and
The Eta Aquariid meteor shower will peak overnight from May 5-6, giving skywatchers a chance to spot fast-moving "shooting stars" created by debris from Halley's Comet.The Eta Aquariids (also spelled Eta Aquarids) are active from April 19 to May 28 each year, with meteors appearing to radiate from the constellation Aquarius, specifically near the star Eta Aquarii, according to Time and Date. The star, which is 168 light-years away, is visible to the naked eye — however, that distant star really has nothing to do with the shower.Halley's Comet is currently traveling through the outer reaches of the solar system, beyond the orbit of Neptune. But twice each year, Earth passes through the trail of dust and debris that the comet has previously left behind. That creates both the Eta Aquariids in April and May and the Orionid meteor shower from early October to early November.As Earth moves through Halley's debris, tiny particles enter the atmosphere at around 40.7 miles per second (65.4 kilometers per second), according to the American Meteor Society, producing swift meteors and persistent glowing trails. Bright fireballs are possible, but rare. Eta Aquariid activity is strongest for about a week centered on the peak night.From the
Jonathan Raa | Nurphoto | Getty ImagesOPEC+ has agreed an increase in oil output of 188,000 barrels per day, the cartel said on Sunday, as it pushes on with production in the first meeting since the loss of its key member, the United Arab Emirates.The group of seven major oil producers announced it would increase June production by slightly less than May's output hike of 206,000 bpd. Sunday's figure excludes the United Arab Emirates share of output, which officially departed OPEC+ on May 1. The seven countries included Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman."In their collective commitment to support oil market stability, the seven participating countries decided to implement a production adjustment of 188 thousand barrels per day from the additional voluntary adjustments announced in April 2023," OPEC said in its statement.Oil supply has been choked since the Iran war began on February 28, as the Strait of Hormuz – a vital shipping route for global oil and gas supplies – has remained effectively closed.

Thanks to Wikipedia for the koala photo. From Remus Enterprises 1, LLC v. Breece, decided Thursday by the D.C. Court of Appeals (Judge Shanker, joined by Judges Easterly and Ruiz): Punctuation matters. At the heart of this case is the placement of a comma. Appellant Remus Enterprises 1, LLC ("Remus 2023") sued appellee Quinn Breece in Superior Court asserting tort claims arising out of Remus 2023's alleged ownership of, and desire to sell, a parcel of property located at 3308 16th Street, NE, in Washington, D.C. But a consent judgment in another case established that a different entity with a name containing all the same words and letters but a differently placed comma—Remus Enterprises, 1 LLC ("Remus 2018")—was the real owner of the property. Because Remus 2023 does not have standing to sue based on a different entity's property interest, we conclude that the trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over the case, and we affirm the trial court's dismissal of Remus 2023's complaint, although on grounds different from those relied on by the trial court…. The consent judgment in this case intended to conclusively settle the issue of who purchased, owned, and contracted to sell the 16th Street property. First,
Mini-hearts seeded with human stem cells grow better in space than they do on Earth, a new study shows. (Image credit: Sean Escopete/NASA) The human heart shrivels away in space, but researchers have found that mini-hearts grown from human stem cells sprout in space significantly faster than in labs on Earth.Weird things happen to astronauts' hearts in microgravity. Without the sense of up and down, the flow of blood in the body changes. More of the fluid gathers in the head, and there is suddenly less of it not just in the legs but also in the heart itself. Not having to push the body against the resistance of gravity, the heart shrinks, weakens and even changes its shape, becoming more circular."On one side, you have things that have already been made before that are being exposed to low gravity and potentially deteriorating and getting weaker over the course of being exposed to microgravity," Sharma said. "On the other side, you are actually making those things from scratch in space. It's possible that the production process is facilitated by low gravity."Sharma, who has been sending heart cell experiments to the ISS since 2016, presented the results of his team's latest

— Integrated versus non-integrated care did not seem to matter, researchers report by Rachael Robertson, Enterprise & Investigative Writer, MedPage Today May 3, 2026 • 3 min read WASHINGTON -- Early postpartum visits were protective against acute care encounters among women with substance use disorder (SUD), a retrospective cohort study found. Attending a postpartum visit within 8 weeks was associated with a 44% reduction in hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits in the late postpartum period (42 to 365 days postpartum; adjusted OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.43-0.74), reported Marcela C. Smid, MD, of the University of Utah (U of U) Health in Salt Lake City, in a presentation at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) annual meeting. "This to me says it is really important to get folks with substance use disorder into that early postpartum care," Smid told MedPage Today. The study's primary objective was to assess the association of late postpartum acute care use between individuals who received integrated perinatal care at the university's SUPeRAD clinic, which offers obstetric care, addiction care, mental health care, peer support, and social work and those who received non-integrated care. They found that integrated care was not associated with odds
