US Top News and Analysis | Alphabet plans to raise $80 billion from stock sales to fund AI buildout

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Alphabet announced it will raise $80 billion through stock offerings—including a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway—to fund the expansion of its AI compute infrastructure amid surging demand for its AI products and services. The capital raise, part of a broader capital‑expenditure plan now projected at up to $190 billion for the year, will be executed via a $30 billion underwritten offering, a $40 billion at‑the‑market program for Class A and C shares, and convertible‑preferred “depositary shares,” with Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley serving as joint book‑runners. Alphabet’s recent bond sales of more than $30 billion and its stock’s strong performance, which has doubled in the past year, underscore its aggressive push to scale AI capabilities, a trend mirrored by other hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Meta and Amazon, whose combined AI capex this year exceeds $700 billion. Berkshire Hathaway’s involvement brings its stake in Alphabet to roughly $20 billion, reflecting its confidence in the search giant’s AI‑driven growth outlook.

New, by me: A number of high-profile and/or valuable Instagram accounts, including those of the Obama White House and the Chief Master Sergeant for the U.S. Space Force, got hacked and defaced with pro-Iran messaging in the past 24h after people figured out that Meta's AI support assistant could be tricked into resetting account passwords.

From the story:

"A video released on Telegram by pro-Iran hackers claimed to document a remarkably simple exploit that appears to have involved using a VPN connection with an IP address that is in or near the target's usual hometown, requesting a password reset for the account, and then choosing to chat with Meta's AI support assistant. From there, the video shows the attacker told the bot to link the account in question to a new email address, after which the bot dutifully sent that address a one-time code that allowed a password reset."

US Top News and Analysis | Nvidia, Meta and Schlumberger rank among top companies adopting AI, new study says

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The AI‑Driven Enterprise Institute’s new study evaluates how effectively S&P 500 companies are adopting artificial‑intelligence tools by scoring them on literacy, advocacy, orientation and implementation, using publicly available data such as earnings‑call transcripts, job listings and patent filings. Chipmaker Nvidia, energy‑services firm Schlumberger, Amazon and Meta each earned perfect 100‑point scores, while Walmart, AES, NextEra Energy, Ecolab and several other firms rounded out the top‑20 list. The index, which does not measure financial returns but provides an objective benchmark for boards and executives, highlights significant gaps in AI knowledge and strategy across industries and underscores the need for greater AI literacy among corporate leaders.

duckduckgo news | Zuckerberg's armada? $100M support ship joins superyacht in Seattle

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s $300‑million, 390‑foot megayacht Launchpad docked in Seattle’s Lake Union in late May while Meta was laying off thousands of employees—including about 1,400 in the Seattle area—and the conspicuous display of wealth sparked widespread criticism on social media. The yacht, moored just blocks from Zuckerberg’s remaining Seattle office at Dexter Station, drew crowds of onlookers, cyclists and joggers who stopped to stare despite the city’s usual mix of houseboats, sailboats and smaller yachts. A day later a second vessel, the 262‑foot support ship Wingman—bought for $100 million from New Zealand billionaire Graeme Hart—took a slip at the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal; equipped with a crane, helipad, gym and spa, it can carry 16 crew members and serves as a platform for submersibles and watercraft. Including another support vessel not yet in Seattle, Zuckerberg’s fleet now totals three ships valued at roughly $430 million, prompting observers to compare the fleet’s ostentatious presence to other billionaire yachts such as Jeff Bezos’s $500‑million Koru.

I made it reflect on its biases and find evidence for it. Nice conversation. Exhaustive, and nothing more to add.

US Top News and Analysis | Mark Zuckerberg says a Meta cloud computing business 'definitely on the table'

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told shareholders that launching a cloud‑computing business is “definitely on the table” if Meta ends up with excess data‑center capacity from its aggressive AI investments. He noted that, unlike Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Oracle, Meta currently does not sell cloud infrastructure, but external companies frequently ask for API access or compute purchases, suggesting an opportunity should the company over‑build. Zuckerberg said Meta’s AI‑related capital spend for 2026 has been raised to $125‑$145 billion and that the firm could eventually monetize premium or high‑compute AI services, including a new subscription model for its Meta AI app that will start at $7.99 or $19.99 per month in a few test markets. He emphasized that while Meta is still using its compute internally, the option to rent it out provides confidence for continued investment.

So difficult situation. #Meta blocks one of the important source of truth just because, maybe due to violent content. I can understand Meta here, unfortunately, first of all, it's about business and blah-blah-blah...
But on the other side, what is the real world alternative during #telegram histeria in #ukraine Most people decide to use it as a daily driver even after having an exact understanding that it is a ruzzian product. Other really normal messengers are too bad (for mass) and unpopular.

US Top News and Analysis | Dropbox CEO Drew Houston to step down after 19 years at helm of cloud storage pioneer

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Dropbox co‑founder and chief executive Drew Houston announced that he will leave the CEO role after nearly two decades, transitioning to executive chairman while sharing a co‑CEO title with product chief Ashraf Alkarmi, who will eventually assume full leadership. Houston, who built Dropbox into a $6 billion‑valued public company and amassed a personal net worth of more than $2 billion, said there is “never a perfect time” for the change and that he plans to focus on entrepreneurship in artificial intelligence. The company, which now has over 18 million paying users and generates roughly $2 billion in annual revenue, is betting on AI‑powered tools such as the new Dash feature to drive growth amid fierce competition from Google, Apple, Microsoft and rivals like Box. Analysts view the move and the AI push as positive signs, noting that Dropbox’s stock has held up better than many SaaS peers. Houston, also a Meta board member, expects to stay active in the tech ecosystem while the firm brings in Google veteran Mike Torres as chief product officer.

qwant news | 'I don't think we're going to have the kind of jobs apocalypse that some…advocate or talk about': OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he's 'delighted to be wrong' about AI-induced job cuts

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has cautioned that the feared “jobs apocalypse” from generative AI is unlikely to materialise, noting that the impact on entry‑level white‑collar roles has been smaller than he expected; however, recent cuts at companies such as Intuit (3,000 jobs), Meta (over twice that), Standard Chartered (planning to replace around 8,000 lower‑value roles) and HSBC illustrate that AI‑driven workforce reductions are already occurring, with some firms seeing up to 17 % of staff eliminated. While Altman’s view suggests a less dramatic long‑term effect, the author argues that an independent, unbiased assessment of AI’s true impact on employment is needed, as many workers are already being displaced by chatbots and AI agents.
