Would you use PayPal if it was a bank? Buy now, pay later firms and crypto companies are making moves to become banks, and PayPal wants to join the party. PayPal says it has filed applications with the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC to establish PayPal Bank.

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.

Would you rather pay once or monthly forever? Elon Musk says that after February 14, Tesla will stop selling FSD, which stands for Full Self-Driving but of course isn’t actually full self-driving. Tesla will instead offer FSD only as a monthly subscription.

6 Nvidia announcements you should know from CES 2026:

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.

Is Anthropic a more responsible OpenAI? Anthropic plans to spend $50 billion on a US AI infrastructure buildout in partnership with Fluidstack. Anthropic says it is “constructing data centers in Texas and New York that will create thousands of American jobs.”

Would you listen to AI-generated music on Spotify? Well, buckle up, because it’s coming. Spotify has partnered with Sony Music Group, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group to develop “responsible” AI products. The company is even building a state-of-the-art generative AI research lab.

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.

Apple has finally agreed to pay Google to fix Siri. Apple and Google have signed a multiyear deal under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google's Gemini models and cloud technology: blog.google/company-news...

Do you use Threads, X, or neither? Meta’s Threads has surpassed Elon Musk’s X in daily active users on mobile. More specifically, as of January 7, Threads had 141.5 million daily active users on Android and iOS, while X had 125M daily active users, according to Similarweb.

This is who Trump nominates to the judiciary: folks who don't know what the law actually says. I'm not talking about arcane precedents found in the Federal Reporter. These guys *do not know what the Constitution says*. How can they fair & unbiased arbiters of laws they do not know or understand?🤦‍♂️

Last night, my Republican colleagues decided—despite the overwhelming evidence that the war against Iran is a terrible idea that’s hurting Americans—to once again bow down to the will of Trump. I’m not letting this go.

Today, we joined 15 states suing to block the Trump Admin’s unlawful overhaul of the childhood immunization schedule. Trump and RFK Jr. are putting children at risk by ignoring science and bypassing federal law. We're taking action to protect families, support doctors, and uphold the rule of law.

Of course, Trump won't give up on his $1.8bn fund for Jan 6 rioters (ultimately, we suspect, for himself). He's never accepted a no, certainly no democratic decision (Jan 6 alone is evidence enough). He'll rename it & try again, with less publicity, more lying, better arm-twisting. Jon Karl for ABC:
