Starting September 2026, Google will require every Android app developer to register centrally, provide government ID, and submit signing key evidence. Apps from unregistered developers will be blocked on all certified devices worldwide. This threatens F-Droid, open-source distribution, and user autonomy. @keepandroidopen@techhub.socialhttps://keepandroidopen.org #KeepAndroidOpen #Freedom #Ownership #Android #OpenSource #Google #Alphabet #enshittification

The Atlantic | SpaceX Just Needs the Money by James Surowiecki AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. This year’s record‑breaking IPOs—SpaceX’s $75 billion offering and the pending floats of AI leaders Anthropic and OpenAI—signal a fundamental shift in the technology sector: unlike earlier tech listings that chiefly let early investors cash out, today’s companies are going public to fund the exorbitant costs of competing in the AI race, with SpaceX alone burning $1 billion a month on AI and OpenAI losing $38.5 billion last year. As public markets flood with tens of billions of new shares, even established giants such as Alphabet, Oracle, and potentially Meta are issuing stock to bankroll AI initiatives, a trend that contrasts with the 1990s boom of IPOs and reflects a broader move toward massive capital‑raising despite ongoing unprofitability, raising questions about market sustainability and the risk of a bubble.

The topic of my national network radio tech segment this coming Monday will be how Alphabet (Google) Waymo diverted the trip of two misbehaving teenagers to turn them in to the police, and the many issues this raises about what robotaxis see and do and who controls them. #google #alphabet #waymo

#Waymo is so far refusing to answer questions regarding their kidnapping of two misbehaving teenagers and turning them over to police. Waymo has not as far as I know explained how they were alerted to the behavior, or how police became involved. Police officials are contradicting earlier reports from various media that the teens were locked in the vehicle. However, many reports are that the teens were lied to by Waymo and told there was a "maintenance issue" and then taken to a parking lot and stopped. They were apparently not informed that police were called, as Waymo was at this point obviously acting as an agent of law enforcement. At last report I've seen the teens have not been charged. Would a human cab driver have taken this kidnapping/lying approach? I would think it unlikely. We need to ask #Alphabet/Google CEO Sundar how far he'd go to satisfy the Trump administration in terms of Waymo-enabled kidnapping.

Google/Alphabet is flat-out determined to make EVERYBODY pay them a monthly fee for storage. They've announced plans to count all Android backup data against your Google cloud storage. When that happens, what are the odds that millions of people will suddenly find themselves out of storage? And don't forget, once you're out of data space you will no longer be able to receive email. Probably no longer be able to text. Hell, you might not even be able to browse the web anymore, assuming Google decides that cookies are part of your storage! We funded the creation of the internet. Big Tech has stolen it. It's long past time we took it back. #Google #alphabet #storage #googlecloud #GoogleSucks #endbigtech

HORRIFIC: Waymo robotaxi kidnaps and imprisons teenagers This story is much worse than I realized. Those drinking teenagers who were shooting Orbeez from a Waymo were not just reported to the police, Google/Alphabet literally kidnapped them, locking them helplessly in the vehicle, until police arrived. This is a scenario I predicted years ago, robocars kidnapping passengers and taking them against their will to "authorities". Imagine what Trump's DOJ would do with this power. Despite the fact that these teens were engaging in low level misbehavior, Google/Alphabet is NOT supposed to be an arresting agent of the government. What if one of those teens had suffered a medical emergency locked in that vehicle? THIS IS HORRIFIC. https://www.wpxi.com/news/trending/waymo-car-delivers-misbehaving-teens-california-police/UCOGYIJRHJG2LMHYWJQ3PH7VEY/ #waymo #google #alphabet #robotax #kidnapping

bing news | Berkshire Hathaway Expands Alphabet (GOOGL) Stake to 58M Shares as Ackman Exits AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Berkshire Hathaway dramatically expanded its stake in Alphabet to about 58 million shares—worth roughly $16.6 billion—bringing the tech giant into its top‑five holdings; the purchase was timed after a 6% dip that left Alphabet trading at a forward P/E of 25×, below the S&P 500 average, and was supported by strong Q1 2026 results, including $109.9 billion in revenue (up 21.8% YoY), EPS of $5.11 versus a $2.63 consensus, a 63% surge in Google Cloud, and a contracted cloud backlog exceeding $460 billion. Simultaneously, Pershing Square’s Bill Ackman sold more than 95% of his Alphabet position and shifted the proceeds into Microsoft, which has fallen about 20% YTD; Ackman highlights Microsoft’s AI business growing 123% YoY to a $37 billion annual run rate, a 40% rise in Azure, and a $627 billion commercial performance obligation, alongside its roughly 27% equity stake in OpenAI. The contrasting moves illustrate two AI‑focused investment theses: Berkshire betting on Google’s infrastructure and guaranteed cloud revenue, and Ackman backing Microsoft’s enterprise software dominance and strategic OpenAI partnership.

bing news | Sam Altman said AI will be sold like electricity and water. Tech companies are spending hundreds of billions building the infrastructure to support it AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, told the BlackRock U.S. Infrastructure Summit that artificial intelligence will become a utility—sold by the meter like electricity or water—requiring massive, coordinated build‑outs of data centers, power grids, cooling systems, chips and related infrastructure. Tech giants are already committing hundreds of billions of dollars to this effort, with Alphabet raising $84.75 billion for AI‑focused compute and the industry’s total capital spend projected to exceed $700 billion this year; however, construction is lagging, especially for high‑voltage transformers and other grid components, leaving only a fraction of the targeted U.S. data‑center capacity under active build. A United Nations University report quantifies the physical toll: in 2025 data centers consumed 448 TWh of electricity (with AI accounting for about 20 %), used 4.5 trillion L of water, and emitted 189 million t of CO₂—figures expected to double by 2030. Altman warned that insufficient compute could drive prices up and limit access to the wealthy, creating both investment opportunities in utilities, transformer makers, and data‑center REITs and significant risk if the infrastructure cannot be delivered quickly and affordably.

US Top News and Analysis | Alphabet's $80 billion stock sale leaves Wall Street in 'unprecedented territory,' says Goldman's Gutman AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Alphabet’s $80 billion equity offering—part of a plan to fund its massive AI‑compute ambitions—has left Wall Street in “unprecedented territory,” according to Goldman Sachs International co‑CEO Anthony Gutman. In an exclusive CNBC interview, Gutman said the scale of the issuance, which also includes a $10 billion allocation to Berkshire Hathaway, underscores strong demand for new equity and is “very manageable” relative to total market capitalization. He noted that the record‑level offering bodes well for a pipeline of mega‑IPOs slated for a historic capital‑markets year, citing SpaceX’s anticipated June‑12 listing—potentially the largest IPO ever—as well as planned public offerings by OpenAI and Anthropic. Gutman stressed the need for humility and caution as markets navigate this industrial‑revolution‑style surge in AI‑driven financing.
