Big Tech is blowing up AI spending in 2026. Combined, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are forecasting about $650 billion in 2026 capital expenditures (www.bloomberg.com/news/article...). That’s an estimated 60% year-over-year increase, mainly driven by data center construction.

Microsoft has survived OpenAI’s restructuring. OpenAI says it has “completed our recapitalization”, which means that the nonprofit entity continues to control and now holds equity in the for-profit corporation currently valued at approximately $130 billion: openai.com/index/built-...
Waymo is hitting the freeway. The Alphabet subsidiary has become the first robotaxi provider to offer driverless rides on freeways: waymo.com/blog/2025/11... The service is available 24/7 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, rolling out gradually to more and more users.
OpenAI wants 220M paying ChatGPT users by 2030. The world’s biggest startup is planning to use the same playbook that Slack and Zoom did when they were growing exponentially: hook most of your users with the free version, and then convince their employers to sign up for enterprise subscriptions.
Amazon has won OpenAI's business. OpenAI and Amazon have signed a seven-year deal in which OpenAI will pay AWS $38 billion for AI compute, including training its models and processing ChatGPT queries using Amazon's data centers and using Amazon’s CPUs to power agentic AI.
Anthropic is gaining on OpenAI where it matters most: money. Anthropic has raised a $30 billion Series G at a $380 billion post-money valuation (www.anthropic.com/news/anthrop...). While OpenAI was already valued at $500 billion in October 2025, Anthropic is clearly catching up.
Meta is cutting back on the metaverse. It’s a little awkward given that Facebook renamed itself to Meta as part of its bet that the metaverse will be the future.
OpenAI wants to build its own chips. OpenAI and Broadcom have agreed to co-develop and deploy 10 gigawatts of custom AI chips to run OpenAI's models over four years. The AI boom has turned Broadcom into a $1 trillion company. For OpenAI, this is more than just getting access to more chips.
Netflix has sweetened its Warner Bros. offer, hurting Paramount's chances. Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery say Netflix has revised its offer to an all-cash deal for $27.75/share. In other words, the total is still the same at $82.7 billion, but this time there's no $59 billion in debt financing.
Anthropic is doubling down on Google Cloud. Anthropic and Google have announced an expanded cloud partnership worth tens of billions of dollars, giving Anthropic access to up to 1 million TPUs for over 1 gigawatt of AI compute capacity. Those aren't quite OpenAI-scale numbers, but they’re big.
Journalist @jeremyscahill.com from @dropsitenews.com says the Trump administration is in "a state of total chaos" as it tries to end the Middle East war it launched. Iran, meanwhile, is confident in its position because of "the three M's on their side: munitions, markets and the midterms."

Elizabeth Warren is right: Economics has to be the tip of the spear for Democrats. Critics say that’s what they want, but then turn around and give @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social no credit for shifting the party in that direction.
Stop losing customers to a confusing website. 📉 If your visitors can't figure out how to hire you in 10 seconds, you’re leaking money. Stop building brochures and start building lead machines. Traffic is great, but conversions pay the bills. 💸 DM "FIX" for a plan. #CRO #HomeServices
