Elon Musk's xAI just struck a 1-year deal with Telegram, bringing its Grok chatbot to over a billion messaging app users this summer in exchange for $300M and a revenue-sharing agreement. Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced the deal (agreed in principle) on X, with the partnership including $300M paid to Telegram in both cash and equity.

Spencer Rascoff co-founded Zillow. Austin Allison sold his company to Zillow for $125M. Now they’re transforming the $1.3T vacation home market via co-ownership. By selling shares of luxury properties, Pacaso’s already earned $100M+ in gross profit.

Opera just introduced Neon, a new web browser that automates web tasks, creates content with AI agents, and enables users to code using natural language — claiming to be the world’s first AI agentic browser. Neon’s AI assistant integrates directly in-browser, handling searches, providing contextual info, and answering questions.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just warned lawmakers and the public that AI could eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar positions in the next five years and drive unemployment as high as 20%. Amodei predicts AI will write 90% of software code within 6 months and virtually all code within a year, completely reshaping tech employment.

Forget career coaching, awkward check-ins, or asking your manager for help. A new survey shows 49% of Gen Z workers now rely more on ChatGPT than their own boss for answers at work. And they’re talking to it like a co-worker… even a friend or therapist.

The data comes from a Resume survey of 8,647 full-time U.S. workers.
