Bezos just dropped a $6.2B AI bombshell
Google's getting serious about travel planning with agentic AI that'll actually book your flights (wild), while Bezos just casually dropped $6.2 billion on an AI science lab for engineering and manufacturing that nobody saw coming. Meanwhile, OpenAI's letting employees finally donate their equity to charity after an 18-month delay (yikes), Gemini 3 Pro is quietly dominating the developer tool space with superior coding chops, and you can now build full coding agents with GPT-5.1 that scaffold entire applications. So here's the question: if Bezos is playing 4D chess with manufacturing AI while Google automates your vacation, are you building the tools or using them?
