Was this the week the tides finally turned against Apple's disastrous Siri project?

Microsoft is working through its options with OpenAI.

It's all about those AI rappers, baby.

And let's talk about whether AI will take our jobs now.

That's coming up right after this.

Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition,

when we break down the news in our traditional cool-headed and nuanced format. A lot of stuff is moving in the world of big tech in AI this week.

It's a, I think, a watershed week in the age of Apple intelligence and not in a good way.

We also have some news about Microsoft and Open AI's relationship and how that's progressing.

And finally, the AI field seems to be progressing

beyond the model and towards the product or the wrappers. So that's going to come as welcome news to

Ranjan. We'll also talk about my latest story about how I'm starting to feel like AI can do a lot of

the work that I do. That's coming up in our show. Joining us, as always on Friday is Ron John Roy of

margins. Ron John, great to see you.

We might have to update our, it's the product, not the model, T-shirts, too. It's the rapper,

not the model, but we'll get to that in just a bit, but I'm excited to talk about Siri this week.

I'm giddy. I'm giddy. I'm sorry. I shouldn't feel this much joy, but my God.

There's got to be some AI rapper rapper puns, like hip hop puns, East Coast, West Coast.

I don't know exactly what it is, but we'll have our merch guy work on it. We don't have a merch guy.

But if we did, that's what they'd be working on. And it's a good thing we don't, so we don't end up doing this.

Exactly.

It might be a very successful fashion business.
