Big Technology Podcast · Feb 2, 2026

AI agents create their own social network, NVIDIA pulls back from a $100B OpenAI deal, and Apple's record earnings fail to impress the market.

"Vibe Coded" AI Systems Like Moltbook Expose Severe, Unchecked Security Flaws

Stalled NVIDIA Deal Threatens OpenAI's Hidden Strategy to Raise Infrastructure Debt

The $100B NVIDIA deal was more than equity; it was a strategic partnership enabling OpenAI to leverage NVIDIA’s financial strength to raise the massive debt needed for its infrastructure build-out.

Anthropic's Potential 2026 IPO Creates a Squeeze Play on OpenAI's Valuation

Anthropic's rumored plan to go public before OpenAI is a strategic threat. If Anthropic IPOs first with a clearer path to profitability, it could absorb significant investor demand for AI stocks, putting OpenAI in a weaker position and forcing it to accelerate its own, less-prepared public debut.

Elon Musk's xAI-SpaceX Merger Is a Strategic End Run to Win the AI IPO Race

A potential merger between xAI and the IPO-ready SpaceX would allow Elon Musk to take an AI company public far ahead of rivals OpenAI and Anthropic.
