My brother's car got totaled in a hit-and-run two weeks ago, so he went to use his $9,500 insurance payout to buy a clean, 8-year-old Toyota Corolla in cash.
Every single lot he visited told him the exact same thing: they don't sell anything under $13,000 for cash anymore.
One sales rep finally leveled with him:
"Corporate keeps the budget inventory locked in the back lot unless you put down $1,500 and sign a 72-month loan."
When my brother pointed out that financing a car that's already 8 years old for 6 more years means paying close to $15,500 total for a $9,500 vehicle, the rep just shrugged.
He ended up driving two states over to buy from a private seller instead, because not a single dealership would just take his cash and hand him keys.
They don't want people buying reliable cars outright.
They want everyone locked into a payment on a car that might not outlast the loan.

JUST IN: After two people climbed to the top of the Empire State Building and unfurled a banner on top of its spire Wednesday afternoon, one of the climbers appeared to propose to the other. abcnews.link/G4bdme1

Perplexity is a $20 billion company that built zero AI models.
Their product sits on top of 19 models made by other companies. Claude for reasoning. Gemini for research. GPT-5.4 for long context. Grok for lightweight tasks. Nano Banana for images. Veo 3.1 for video.
You write one prompt. Computer picks the best model combo for the job, spawns sub-agents in parallel, and runs the whole thing in a cloud sandbox while your laptop is closed.
400+ app connectors. Gmail, GitHub, Snowflake, Salesforce, Ahrefs, Shopify. Read and write access. One prompt can scrape your competitors, pull live financials from FactSet, query your data warehouse in plain English, and push a finished report to Google Slides. No API keys. No terminal.
The enterprise usage data tells you where this is heading. In January 2025, 90% of enterprise tasks on Perplexity ran on two models. By December, no single model held more than 25% of usage. A new frontier model launched every 17.5 days in 2025. Each one brought different strengths. The era of picking one model is ending.
Perplexity built none of the intelligence. They built the routing layer that makes the intelligence usable. Stripe didn't build the banks. Google didn't build the websites. The value is in making complexity disappear.
Four of the Mag Seven already use Perplexity's search API in production. Every model provider is now building orchestration in-house. The question is whether the routing layer stays independent or gets absorbed.
I wrote the complete guide to using Computer without wasting credits. 6 use cases, the prompt spec that controls cost, honest limitations.

Dr. Dre joins the #ForbesBillionaires list with an estimated net worth of $1 billion.
Born Andre Young, the rapper, producer and executive built much of his fortune through Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics, the headphone brand he co-founded with Jimmy Iovine and sold to Apple in 2014 for more than $3 billion.
