Could AI be the 'person' deciding whether or not you get your dream job?
Have you ever been in a job interview and thought, 'this meeting could have been an interaction with an AI agent'? No? Well, two-thirds of Australian employers are now using artificial intelligence agents to conduct job interviews on their behalf. What kind of bias does a computer have when deciding on the right candidate? And could it be less objective than a human? Also, people are hacking their digital driver's licences and Grindr is once again in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Plus, why did the CIA secretly run a Star Wars fansite in the 2010s?

Resources Top 5: RareX moves to set up Australian gallium supply chain
RareX and Gega will evaluate and aim to commercialise a fully integrated gallium supply chain West Coast Silver has the diamond drill spinning at Elizabeth Hill in WA's Pilbara Among the biggest movers in ASX small caps this week was Locksley Resources Your standout resources stocks for Friday, May 30, 2025. RareX (ASX:REE) The US and EU are not the only ones developing domestic supply chains to negate the influence of China and overcome its export restrictions with Australia joining in and primarily in critical minerals. There has been some action in Australia in recent times to develop integrated supply chains in future facing minerals such as lithium, rare earths and cobalt, and now there are moves for gallium to join the bunch. Gallium is seeing growing demand due to Chinese export restrictions and its vital use in semiconductors, robotics, LEDs and a range of defence applications. At the forefront of the vertically integrated gallium supply chain move is RareX, which has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Australian technology company Gega Elements. Gega, a materials science innovator focused on developing next-generation gallium refining solutions based on its proprietary research, will use its advanced methods to test gallium-bearing samples from RareX's (ASX:REE) Cummins Range and Khaleesi projects in Western Australia. The aim is to evaluate and ultimately commercialise a fully integrated gallium supply chain that will contribute to Australia's critical mineral resilience and investors have warmed to the value-add proposition with REE shares as much as 16.67% higher to 2.1c before closing at 1.9c. Gega's approach focuses on creating a cost-effective, environmentally responsible and sovereign-controlled processing pathway. 'This partnership with Gega Elements begins to position RareX as one of a select few large-scale potential gallium developments outside China,' managing director James Durrant said. 'Gallium is critical for semiconductors, 5G and defence – yet almost entirely controlled by a single jurisdiction. 'Through this collaboration, we're working to change that, leveraging RareX's resource scale and Gega's science-driven approach to build a truly sovereign supply solution.' The three-year collaboration seeks to provide technical validation of REE's gallium samples using Gega's bench-scale refining platform. Results will be integrated into techno-economic modelling for REE's broader project assessments while both companies jointly develop bespoke refining flowsheets for their resource characteristics. Both parties will also coordinate government grant applications and engagement with strategic end-users. The agreement is also aimed at building a pathway toward a binding commercial agreement upon successful demonstration of the technology. West Coast Silver (ASX:WCE) West Coast Silver has the diamond drill spinning at the Elizabeth Hill project in Western Australia's Pilbara as it tests extensions of known high-grade mineralisation. The company's highly anticipated inaugural diamond drill campaign will total around 1500m and will also investigate structural controls identified through geological modelling and fieldwork. All drill core will be transported from site and logged at the company's offices and core yard in Karratha, where preliminary pXRF analysis will be undertaken. The geological team will also carry out detailed structural interpretation, which will fast-track updates to the drill program to ensure optimal targeting and program efficiency as drilling progresses. Following this work in Karratha, samples will be sent to the laboratory in Perth for full chemical assaying. Portable XRF analysis of surface sampling in mid-May returned several elevated readings of up to 920g/t silver to the north and south of the historical Elizabeth Hill mine. 'We're extremely excited to have drilling now underway at Elizabeth Hill,' executive director Bruce Garlick said. 'It's a significant milestone for West Coast Silver as we test the additional potential of this historical, high-grade silver project with modern techniques for the first time. 'We'll soon be assessing fresh drill core – and that's when the real geological work begins. 'Our team is ready to interpret and adapt in real-time, and we're looking forward to sharing updates with shareholders as results come to hand.' Investors share the enthusiasm with WCE shares up 10.54% to 6.3c. While Elizabeth Hill does not have a defined resource, it has proven historical production of about 1.2Moz of silver at an impressive head grade of 2194g/t in a single year. The high grades enabled low processing tonnes with the 1.2Moz produced from just 16,830t of ore before the mining operation ceased in 2000 due to low silver prices. Native silver was recovered via low-cost gravity separation techniques. There is also untapped potential with the deposit open at depth while recent consolidation of the land package offers potential to discover more Elizabeth Hill style deposits. In a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction, Elizabeth Hill is on a mining lease with potential processing option at the nearby Radio Hill site. Silver has come into its own in recent years due to growing industrial demand primarily for making photovoltaic solar panels more efficient. Locksley Resources (ASX:LKY) Among the biggest weekly movers amid ASX small caps was Locksley Resources, which reached 8.5c, a rise of almost 42%, to a new high of more than two years. On Friday alone the company increased 28.8% on volume of more than 60m. The primary catalyst for this week's gain was a strongly supported placement with 36.67 million shares issued at 4c each to sophisticated and institutional investors resulting in $1.47m. Funds will be used to fund upcoming exploration, including drilling, at the Mojave rare earths and antimony project in California. The company's exploration team is mobilising to site to confirm priority targets and prepare for drilling to start. It will confirm and peg drill collar locations and access routes while the company waits for Bureau of Land Management approvals to be granted. Priority activities also include access routes and the engagement of earthworks and drill contractors to complete the drilling program. In addition, the team will conduct follow-up mapping and rock chip sampling across high-priority antimony, REE, polymetallic and copper targets. Further activities will include refining geophysical targets, additional surface sampling for geochemistry and structural mapping, and starting petrological studies to inform future metallurgical testing. Drilling is expected to begin in the September quarter and will focus on the El Campo prospect where six holes will be drilled to test TREO of up to 12.1% and the Desert Antimony Mine with three holes testing high-grade antimony mineralisation of up to 46%. This comprehensive campaign is designed to progress priority targets and unlock the project's critical minerals potential. Lord Resources (ASX:LRD) Increasing on the promise of additional funds from a pro-rata 1-for-1 non-renounceable entitlement offer was Lord Resources, which climbed 23.81% to a daily high of 2.6c. The company hopes to reel in almost $1.4m before costs at 1.8c per share, which represents an 18.18% discount to the 5-day VWAP price of 2.2c. The offer will be open for all shareholders of the company with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand who hold shares as at 5pm (WST) on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. Funds raised will be used for a maiden drilling program at the Ilgarari Copper Project in Western Australia's Collier Basin. In late April the company was awarded co-funded grants of up to $306,500 under the WA Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) for the Ilgarari project. This comprises $216,000 in support for a deep diamond drilling program targeting a regionally significant magnetic anomaly beneath copper mineralisation at the Alac and Main zones and another $90,500 for a Moving Loop Electromagnetic survey designed to refine drill targeting by detecting subsurface conductivity. 'We are delighted to receive support from the WA Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme for both drilling and geophysics at Ilgarari,' Lord Resources CEO Andrew Taylor said. 'The Collier Basin remains vastly underexplored, and these grants are a validation of our exploration model and provide substantial leverage for advancing exploration both at Ilgarari and potentially across the broader region.' Funding under both EIS grants is available from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026. Lord Resources is an exploration company with a highly prospective portfolio of future facing metals within Western Australia including projects providing exposure to copper, gold and lithium. Tasman Resources (ASX:TAS) Tasman Resources was 38.89% higher to 2.5c after clean technology company Eden Innovations Ltd, in which it has a 33.9% stake, recorded encouraging growth in sales of its EdenCrete® range of carbon nanotube enriched concrete admixtures. This was primarily as a result of rapid sales growth of EdenCrete®Pz7 for commercial applications in USA, Ecuador, Mexico and Canada. In the three months from mid-February 2025, the total sales of all EdenCrete products exceeded US$567,000 (~A$877,000). From the start of March 2025 to May 23 total US domestic sales of all EdenCrete products reached US$222,470 (~A$341,196) comprising: EdenCrete Pz7 – sales of US$151,890 (~A$232,900) to six ready mix plants in the Denver area that have dispensing systems installed, and EdenCrete - U$70,580 (~A$108,224). Year-on-year sales for April and May 2025 alone were 86% higher than the total sales for the whole of Q4 of FY2024 (April-June 2024). In addition, the following international orders for EdenCrete Pz7 have been received, since mid-February 2025: Holcim Ecuador placed three further orders totalling $US$275,220 for use at multiple Holcim concrete plants in Ecuador, following its first commercial orders in May 2024 for US$79,600 of EdenCrete Pz7; Holcim Mexico placed two orders for US$15,760; and Holcim Eastern Canada one order for US$6,400.

Twist after ‘support kangaroo' goes viral
A wildly viral video of a kangaroo holding a boarding pass on a plane has left people scratching their heads. The clip, which has done the rounds on social media this week, shows a woman furiously arguing with a flight attendant while a kangaroo in a harness innocently watches on, clutching its own boarding pass. The woman furiously waves her hands in the air as the flight attendant points her finger towards the roo, while they speak an unidentified language. Millions of views, thousands of comments and a wave of 'only in Australia' memes later, the video was hailed as yet another example of airline drama in the golden age of in-flight absurdity. But – sorry to be the bearer of bad news – it's all fake. The original clip, captioned 'No kangaroo on the plane', gathered over 1 million likes on Instagram – and people were not happy. 'He has a ticket he paid for! Let him in!' said one. 'He behaves better than my kids,' laughed another. 'This is the saddest thing I've ever seen,' said a third. 'There needs to be rules against discriminating against a paying customer just because of their species,' said a fourth. Others were quick to catch on, slamming the AI-generated footage. 'How can no one tell this is AI?' questioned one viewer. 'You guys have your boomer glasses on,' mocked another. 'AI is getting scary,' said a third. 'How are people falling for the kangaroo video. I'm so serious. Yeah it looks eerily real but in what world does a kangaroo just pass through all the airport checks and is only stopped at the literal airplane door,' questioned another. Others were shocked they fell for it in the first place. 'Fell for my first AI video and I feel sick to my core…. like what was I thinking … that kangaroo was holding a boarding pass,' said one viewer. People have now confirmed the video is indeed fake, thanks to the help of internet sleuths and X's AI assistant 'Grok' who flagged the video as AI-generated on the platform. The video is just the latest example of AI-generated content fooling even the most sceptical of viewers, with recent fakes ranging from natural disaster clips to fake images of celebrities. Just earlier this year, millions were fooled over AI images of Katy Perry at the Met Gala for the second year in a row. No matter your feelings about artificial intelligence, there is no denying that it is becoming increasingly embedded within people's daily lives. A recent study by the University of Melbourne showed that just 30 per cent of Australians believe the benefits of AI outweigh the risks, ranking us the lowest among all. additionally, 55 per cent say they realise the benefits, compared to 73 per cent globally. Almost 80 per cent of Australians were concerned about the negative outcomes of AI use and 37 per cent said they have personally experienced to observed those negative outcomes.
