• OpenAI’s IPO Plan, Deconstructing The AI Bet, Apple’s iPhone17 Revival

  M.G. Siegler of Spyglass is back for our monthly tech news discussion. Today we dig into OpenAI’s newly cleared path to an IPO, what trillion-scale capex vs. current revenue implies, and how Microsoft’s 27% stake, IP rights, and fresh AWS entanglements complicate the story. We debate whether the market can stomach years of heavy losses, why “AGI or bust” creates systemic risk, and what happens if model gains plateau, compute economics flip, or fast followers erase any AGI edge. Finally, we look at Apple’s iPhone 17 resurgence—why it’s hitting now and whether it’s enough without a breakthrough assistant. Tune in for a clear walkthrough of tech’s biggest news with one of the industry’s sharpest analysts. --- Enjoying Big Technology Podcast?
