Not AirPods Pro, this is the AirPods 5.

And I like this little story you linked to today from MG Siegler, was like, you know, there's, like, a small gap now between the new AirPods 5 and the AirPods Pro, so much so that the AirPods 5 are probably maybe all that you really need to get.

They're really good.

Yeah.

... possible AirPods.

And so I've had the AirPods Pro ever since the Pro has come out, and ever since the Pro version came out, I have never looked back at the regular AirPods.

And what MG Siegler made me realize-

Yeah, yeah

So Claude may be winning meaningful attention from serious users, but the business still has to prove durability, margins, and customer diversification.

Why didn't Google build Muse? The episode frames the consumer battle around Meta's Muse, OpenAI's Dots, Apple's dark horse position, Google's product missteps, and Anthropic's relative absence from the consumer assistant race.

Welcome to Big Technology Podcast.

It's the first Monday of the month, and joining us for his recurring spot is MG Siegler of Spyglass.

We're gonna talk today all about the personal AI assistant war, which was brewing at the beginning of September, but now has basically escalated into a full-blown battle war, legendary tech face-off that will continue to resonate for months after this.

And we're gonna also discuss the one glaring company that doesn't seem to have a competitive product here, uh, which is Google, although you could argue that some others are, are there, but Google especially should have it.

Um, so yeah, there's, uh...

It's, it's yet another battle.

MG, always great to speak with you.

Their major supplier and a major investor, the biggest player in the market, was openly critical of them.

Meanwhile, as you know, Facebook came out with its own product, Muse, Is it a direct challenge? You linked to a very good piece by MG Siegler, who writes a very compelling argument for why Facebook is back and why Mark Zuckerberg has found his groove again.

Is Muse, Facebook's AI product, its agent product, is it direct competition to Anthropic and OpenAI?

Yeah, direct.
