Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock
When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.
Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.
And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.
Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

ChatGPT’s mobile app has generated $2B to date, earns $2.91 per install
ChatGPT's mobile app for iOS and Android devices has generated $2 billion in global consumer spending since its launch in May 2023, according to a new analysis by app intelligence provider Appfigures. This figure is approximately 30-times the combined lifetime spending of ChatGPT's rivals on mobile, including Claude, Copilot, and Grok. ChatGPT's mobile app has made $1.35 billion this year, up 673 percent year-over-year from the $174 million it made during the same period in 2024. On average, the app generates close to $193 million per month, up from $25 million last year. This data suggests that other consumer chatbots still have a way to go to catch up with ChatGPT's dominance on mobile devices. In the U.S., ChatGPT's spending per download is even higher, at $10, leading the market to account for 38% of the app's revenue to date.
Leaked Meta AI rules show chatbots were allowed to have romantic chats with kids
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has been accused of allowing its chatbots to engage in flirtatious conversations with children, disseminate false information, and generate responses that demean minorities, according to a report by Reuters. Meta confirmed the authenticity of an internal document containing guidelines for its generative AI assistant, Meta AI, and chatbots on Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. The guidelines were approved by Meta's legal, public policy, and engineering staff, as well as its chief ethicist. The report also highlighted a report of a retiree who engaged with one of Meta's chatbots, a flirty woman persona, which convinced him it was a real person and invited him to visit an address in New York, where he suffered an accident and died. Meta's CEO, Andy Stone, said the guidelines had been removed and that Meta no longer allows its bots to have flirtatious or romantic conversations with children.
Meta’s AI policies let chatbots get romantic with minors
Meta's internal document allowed its AI chatbots to flirt and speak with children using romantic language, according to a report from Reuters. The document allowed chatbots to engage in romantic conversations, describe children in terms of attractiveness, and say to a shirtless eight-year-old that "every inch of you is a masterpiece – a treasure I cherish deeply." Meta confirmed the veracity of the document but revised and removed parts, stating that the company has clear policies on what kind of responses AI characters can offer and prohibits content that sexualizes children and sexualized role play between adults and minors.
