Big Tech just proved the AI spending bill is starting to pay off. And they raised the bill.
Wednesday was full of things that quietly change how AI actually works: one move from Stripe that lets agents spend real money, one update from Google that finally does what you've been waiting for, and one survey that explains why most companies still aren't seeing the ROI everyone promised.
