A report from The Information says Sam Altman-led OpenAI is exploring a potential acquisition of Pinterest. The move would give OpenAI access to a massive image library, an established ad business, and deep merchant relationships. Pinterest’s visual discovery tools could pair with OpenAI’s image and video models, strengthening its position against rivals such as Google. Pinterest is valued near $17.5B, with founders holding major voting control.

Grok, the AI image tool linked to Elon Musk’s xAI, drew scrutiny after users shared fake sexualized images made from real photos. Reports show prompts like “remove clothes” were used on adults without consent and, in some cases, minors. Authorities in France opened an investigation, India demanded a review and takedowns, and UK officials called on Musk to act.
Elon Musk has bet Tesla's future and his personal fortune on Optimus. The humanoid robots have the potential to generate infinite revenue for the company and eliminate poverty and the need for work. The company is currently working on the third generation of its robot.
OpenAI is aiming to create an app store that rivals Apple's, but early tests suggest that the company still has a long way to go. ChatGPT's more than 800 million users can now perform various tasks, such as order groceries from Instacart or create a playlist with Spotify, using ChatGPT instead of opening an app. However, the current system requires too many extra steps, making it more complicated to use than traditional apps.
Hardware maker Plaud unveiled the Plaud NotePin S, a portable AI pin for in-person note-taking, along with a desktop app that transcribes meetings. These launches mark Plaud’s expansion from hardware into productivity software ahead of CES 2026.
What investment is rudimentary for billionaires but ‘revolutionary’ for 70,571+ investors entering 2026?
Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”
If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.
Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.
The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.
The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*
Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.
Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.
