The streaming wars are over. The battle for the bundle has begun. Who can leverage deals and partnerships to own the "super app" for content... https://spyglass.org/streaming-bundle-wars/

Beyond personal sadness, the world is worse off in losing Om's voice – his inclination to pushback with the appropriate, earned and lived context – just as we wade deeper into the AI waters. https://spyglass.org/om/

"That's what I love about Apple, man. Their Big Tech peers go crazy on CapEx, they stay in the same range..."

Meta clearly believes they need to be at the cutting-edge of AI right now. Apple clearly believes they can outsource the cutting-edge right now and wait and see how it develops.
We'll all get to watch which bet was right and which was wrong in real time! https://spyglass.org/meta-apple-ai-strategy/

One suspects the M&A fear here has shifted from: 'they don't know what they're doing' to 'they know *exactly* what they're doing... https://spyglass.org/netflix-warner-bros-hollywood-concerns/

All the hate and fear around the Netflix/Warner Bros deal is both silly and comically shortsighted.

This time is different™ – because the AI build-out is so clearly a bubble. In fact, I believe the companies involved not only know this – I mean, how could you not? – but are now actually *leveraging* this reality. 🫧 https://spyglass.org/ai-bubble/

So good. From day one. Dune in particular. But it was comical when Dune 2 wasn't available in the format because it was basically dead in cinemas... Apple should subsidize bringing it back in full force.

Congrats to Donald Trump on his decisive trade war victory over Donald Trump.

If you're into Apple news -- and in particular, everything going on with the company and AI -- I think you're gonna like this one. @npub1x28…7ga5 and I cover a lot of ground in two and a half hours. 🗣️🍎🤖 https://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/2025/03/23/ep-419

Gearing up to record The Talk Show with @npub1x28…7ga5 shortly. Whatever should we talk about?

I just upgraded to iOS 18.3 and DeepSeek isn’t baked in. Apple is doomed.

My final prediction for 2025 was a major backlash against Mark Zuckerberg in the press. It took a week. https://spyglass.org/zuckerberg-speech-about-face-book/
