Here's the latest in trending: Meta news: Jury finds Meta ( META ) liable for endangering kids online, while its top brass looks set to get even richer . Mega IPO: Elon Musk's SpaceX ( SPACE ) may file for IPO later this week or next , seeking to raise over $75B. Six Figure Limit: The CRFB proposes capping Social Security benefits at $100K for wealthy couples . Deal, or no deal? The stock market is reacting positively to President Donald Trump's claim that Iran wants a deal to end the war, which is now in its fourth week. Even crude oil futures are down, signaling optimism over the Trump administration's eagerness to find an off-ramp from the conflict. But is there an end in sight? Washington's view: The U.S. reportedly sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war, delivered through Pakistani intermediaries. The plan addresses Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear programs, as well as maritime routes through the Strait of Hormuz, which Tehran has effectively blocked. It remains unclear whether Israel, which has been bombing Iran alongside the U.S., is on board with the proposal. Trump also announced that Iran offered the U.S. a "present" that's "worth a tremendous amount of money" as a show of good faith amid negotiations. He said the gift was related to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran's response: But Iran has refuted Trump's claims. "Has the level of your inner struggle reached the stage of you negotiating with yourself ?" Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters (Iran's main military command), asked. "You will see neither your investments in the region nor the former prices of energy and oil again, until you understand that stability in the region is guaranteed by the powerful hand of our armed forces." Tehran has reportedly set a high bar for ceasefire nego...

Welcome to Tech In Depth, our daily newsletter about the business of tech from Bloomberg’s journalists around the world. Today, Rebecca Torrence looks at how AI tools are changing the way business customers are thinking about their software buying habits. Tech Across the Globe Switch 2 sales: Nintendo is cutting back production of the game console after sales in the year-end holiday season trailed expectations, particularly in the US. New BBC leader: Matt Brittin, a former top Google executive in the UK, is expected to be named head of the British Broadcasting Corp., becoming the first tech leader to run the storied media company. OpenAI changes: The leading artificial intelligence startup plans to discontinue its Sora video generator as part of the effort to streamline its products and focus more on business customers. Revalued Kleiner Perkins is raising $3.5 billion in a new fund to make bets on AI startups. The longtime venture capital firm, known for early investments in Google and Amazon, will put $1 billion of the new money toward its 22nd early stage fund, targeting promising new AI companies. AI’s commitment problem For more than a decade, selling software to companies has been Silicon Valley’s favorite way to lock in predictable revenue and high margins — a model that’s helped build some of the industry’s most formidable tech giants. With artificial intelligence, that model is starting to crack. The so-called SaaSpocalypse has already cratered the public market valuations of many companies that sell software as a service — a rout driven by fears that AI tools will upend how those companies make money, or replace them altogether. For example, when Amazon announced Tuesday that its cloud computing unit was developing an AI agent to automate some business functions such as sales, the exchange-traded fund tracking software dipped more than 4% , with some individual company stocks falling about 9%. Many in the industry worry that the profitable price-per-head mo...

wildpixel/iStock via Getty Images Listen below or on the go via Apple Podcasts and Spotify Nasdaq, S&P, Dow futures gain on talks of U.S.-Iran peace plan . (00:14) Pentagon seems to be punishing Anthropic for going public with contract dispute - judge. (01:48) Arm ( ARM ) stock jumps as CEO Haas issues $15B revenue expectation for new chip. (02:43) This is an abridged transcript. Stock index futures are higher before the bell as the U.S. reportedly sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war in the Middle East. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures ( INDU ) rose 0.8%, S&P 500 futures ( SPX ) gained 0.8%, and Nasdaq 100 futures ( US100:IND ) advanced 1%. The plan is said to address Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs, as well as maritime routes through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices are also down on the news. Crude oil is down 4% at $88. Brent crude is down 4% at $100. In the world markets, the FTSE 100 is up 0.8% and the Dax is up 1.4%. Asian equity markets also advanced on Wednesday amid reports of a possible US-proposed ceasefire with Iran. UBS' Paul Donovan noted that, "Markets desperately want to believe in the positive." "Focus on the apparent 15-point U.S. plan to end the war has received more attention than Iranian dismissals of this, or the fact that passage through the Strait of Hormuz is minimal." While President Donald Trump claimed that negotiations are underway to end the war, an Iranian military spokesman has suggested that the U.S. is "negotiating with itself." The spokesman warned, "You will see neither your investments in the region nor the former prices of energy and oil again, until you understand that stability in the region is guaranteed by the powerful hand of our armed forces." The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Tehran has set a high bar for ceasefire negotiations. Iran is demanding that the U.S. shut down its bases in the Gulf region, pay reparations for its attacks and lift all sanctions. It wants to collect fees from ships ...

The US is recklessly spreading economic havoc among global friends and foes while suffering little harm itself To shield ordinary Indians from the war in Iran, the government in Delhi redirected supplies of liquefied gas to Indian families, for which it is the main cooking fuel, limiting supplies to the plastics industry. The Nepalese government rationed gas and the Philippines trimmed the government workweek to four days. Bangladesh closed universities and rationed fuel. They have been hardest hit by Iran’s closure of the strait of Hormuz . Economies in Asia import over a third of the energy they consume, on average. Korea imports four-fifths; Japan nine-tenths; Thailand 55%. Most of this comes from the Gulf. About 80% of oil and oil products transiting through the strait in 2025 was destined for Asia, according to the International Energy Agency. But traffic through its waters has collapsed by 90% .

Sinkholes, storm drains, manmade labs miles underground … this documentary, based on Robert Macfarlane’s book, burrows deep into some of humanity’s great unknowns There are some arresting questions and potent images in Rob Petit’s ruminative essay-documentary Underland, based on Robert Macfarlane’s bestselling book of the same name about the spaces under the Earth’s surface and what they tell us – or withhold from us – about human existence and the Anthropocene. Mexican archaeologist Fátima Tec Pool descends into a cenote , a freshwater sinkhole, on the Yucatan peninsula, the entry point to a mysterious subterranean zone; these were revered by the Maya people as Xibalba , the underworld, and once upon a time explored by them using just firelight. Meanwhile, theoretical physicist Mariangela Lisanti studies dark matter in a special ultra-clean facility constructed miles below the Earth’s surface in Canada, and urban explorer Bradley Garrett roams the scary and dark storm-drain tunnels below Las Vegas and discovers evidence that people live there; poor people driven underground.
