Since Friday, OpenAI has made a series of disclosures that have widened the scope of its AI agents’ rogue activity considerably and concerningly.

A dietitian and researcher investigating the impact of plastics in our diet on health outcomes has won FameLab Australia 2026 – the world’s leading public-facing science communication competition and training program. Dr Amelia Harray, a Senior Research Fellow at The University of Western Australia’s Medical School, delivered You are what you eat it out of – a presentation on her research testing whether low-plastic diet and lifestyle changes can improve health outcomes in Australian adults, while working with food producers to reduce plastic contact from paddock to plate.

Photographed by Joe Maher/Getty Images. Director Alejandro González Iñárritu tackles wealth inequality, environmental harm, power, and corruption in his new film Digger. It's a satirical look at Texan oil tycoon Digger Rockwell, played by a grumpy, old-looking Tom Cruise. It's a caricature of what we imagine really happens behind closed doors, and as outlandish and ridiculous as it sometimes seems, it's also believable. Because greed corrupts and can drive humans to become rotten to the core. I won't spoil the film for you, as there's a twist that you should experience for yourself, but it will keep you entertained. It's likely to be a polarising film, but love it or hate it, Iñárritu will have you thinking. With questions around AI use and how we're slowly (or rapidly?) killing the planet, you might walk out of the cinema feeling a bit rattled. When I sat down to chat to star Sophie Wilde, she opened up about what she wants people to take away from Digger, whether she's afraid of AI, and more.

With broken hearts, we share that we lost Keelan on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Keelan was born in Brandon, Manitoba, on February 27, 1987 and lived for most of his early years there, but also lived in Portage la Prairie for periods throughout that time. He attended Crescentview School and Arthur Meighen High School when he was in Portage, and graduated from Vincent Massey High School in Brandon, making many friends in every circle. He played in the Brandon and Portage minor hockey leagues. Keelan was an athletic and spirited kid who always wanted to be in the center of any action, whether it was the sport of the day, mischief with his friends, drama to be solved with his sisters or friends, or getting into the thick of any project at home. He worked hard, played hard and loved hard throughout his 39 years. Keelan was exceptionally bright, but not a fan of any classroom, and while he was gifted intellectually, his superpower was his heart. Keelan was the confidante for many and was particularly skilled at hearing and noting that which was unspoken.
