Hand-picked News

A billion weekly ChatGPT users isn't an if anymore, it's a when.

  • OpenAI went from 800M to 900M users in just 4 months—that's 25 million new people every month making ChatGPT part of their routine

  • 50 million people are now paying subscribers, and OpenAI says this January and February are their biggest subscriber months ever

  • They dropped this news the same day they announced a $110 billion raise from Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank (and more investors are still joining)

A billion weekly users would put ChatGPT in the same league as Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp. We're watching the fastest consumer AI adoption in history.

✅ Why it matters: More users means better AI, which means more users. OpenAI's flywheel is spinning so fast that catching up isn't about building better tech anymore—it's about convincing 900 million people to switch.

If you're betting on AI alternatives or building in this space, the window is closing. Fast.

Amazon just became the only cloud where you can access OpenAI's enterprise platform.

  • AWS gets exclusive rights to distribute OpenAI Frontier, the platform for deploying AI agents at scale if your company wants production-grade OpenAI, you're going through Amazon

  • OpenAI is ditching Nvidia and committing to 2 gigawatts of Amazon's custom Trainium chips in a massive $138B expanded deal

  • They're building something called a "Stateful Runtime Environment" that lets AI agents remember what they were doing across sessions and tools — launching in a few months

This is a $50B investment on top of an existing $38B partnership. Microsoft has been OpenAI's main cloud partner, but Amazon just became the exclusive enterprise gateway.

⚠️ Why it matters: Every company building on Azure or Google Cloud just lost access to OpenAI's best enterprise tools. The AI cloud war isn't about who has better infrastructure anymore — it's about who controls the door to the models everyone wants.

👀 Watch for: How Microsoft responds. They still have exclusive access to OpenAI's models through their existing partnership, but losing Frontier distribution is a massive blow.

Usually streaming companies fight over content, but Apple and Netflix just decided to work together on Formula 1.

  • Netflix will stream a live F1 race for the first time ever on May 24 (the Canadian Grand Prix)

  • Both platforms are sharing the popular show "Drive to Survive" starting today

  • Apple paid $150 million per season to be the only U.S. broadcaster for F1, but they're letting Netflix join in

This is weird because streaming companies normally don't share. When you pay big money for exclusive rights, you keep it to yourself. But Apple knows F1 isn't very popular in America yet, and Netflix's show brought in millions of new fans.

✅ Why it matters: Apple would rather team up with Netflix to grow F1's audience than own something nobody watches. More fans = more money later.

Think of it like this: if you own a pizza shop but nobody knows about pizza, you'd let another shop help you introduce people to pizza. That's what Apple is doing with F1.

Previous Poll:

Is Meta rolling out teen safety alerts because they care or just to avoid lawsuits?

  • A) Yes – They genuinely care about teens – 50% 🏆

  • B) No – Just damage control from lawsuits – 50% 🏆

My Take: People see right through this one. Meta didn't wake up one day caring about teens — they woke up to a pile of lawsuits. If they actually cared, they would've built these protections years ago, not after getting sued.
