OpenAI creates infrastructure to retrain workers its AI is replacing

Federal Judge Amit Mehta just delivered a shocking victory for Google, ruling that Chrome and Android won't face forced sales despite the company's search monopoly. The judge wrote that "the emergence of GenAI changed the course of this case," essentially arguing that ChatGPT and other AI tools now threaten traditional search enough to reduce Google's dominance.

The Justice Department wanted to dismantle Google's core products, but Mehta said they "overreached." Google can keep paying Apple and others for search placement as long as deals aren't exclusive, preserving their $20 billion in annual payments. OpenAI and Perplexity had circled like vultures, with Perplexity floating a $34.5 billion offer for Chrome.

The irony is perfect: Google's AI rivals accidentally saved the company by proving they pose a competitive threat. This legal clarity might now free Google to push harder on Gemini-driven browser innovations without regulatory interference.

Corporate Bitcoin holdings hit historic 1 million BTC milestone

Public companies now control over 1 million Bitcoin—5.1% of circulating supply worth more than $111 billion—marking the clearest sign that corporate adoption has evolved from experiment to movement. Michael Saylor's Strategy leads with 636,505 BTC, while MARA Holdings, XXI, and Bitcoin Standard Treasury round out the top holders.

The supply math is becoming brutal: ETFs plus corporates create massive demand shock while new Bitcoin issuance runs just 450 BTC daily. Public companies alone are accumulating faster than miners can produce, driving Bitcoin to new highs above $124K last month.

Firms like Metaplanet and Semler Scientific pledge to expand holdings 10x-20x by 2027, tightening supply pressure dramatically. Saylor's playbook—once mocked as "wild experiment" during 2022's bear market—now serves as Wall Street's template for funneling capital into Bitcoin through equity raises and debt financing.

With 1 million BTC locked in corporate vaults and less than 5.2% of total supply left to mine, this corporate arms race defines the current cycle's supply squeeze dynamics.
