So you're buying into one stock that gives you all three businesses—basically, investors are betting on space and AI at the same time."

With Onna's cloud infrastructure, even when your laptop's off, the server can keep running long tasks like code edits and builds all the way through. There are over 5 million people using Codex every week, so this infrastructure's getting rolled out pretty wide. They didn't disclose the acquisition price."

It prevents AI companies from offering companion-style chatbots that talk to minors like they're friends. The vote was 137 to 0 in the Assembly and 60 to 0 in the Senate—not a single no vote."

But here's the thing: if you don't carefully set spending limits when you turn on auto-pay, you could end up with purchases you didn't intend, and that could become a dispute."
