Top OpenAI executives are reportedly at odds over its spending and IPO plans. Apple keeps making plans for Siri and, well, nothing to show for it yet. And can Meta find its next hit? That's coming up with MG Siegler from Spyglass right after this. This episode is brought to you by True Diagnostic. I've been trying to get more intentional about my health lately, not just how I feel day to day, but what's actually going on under the hood. That's why I checked out True Diagnostic. They offer at-home tests that measure your biological age, not just how old you are, but how your body is aging on a cellular level. Their True Age test looks at things like your pace of aging, organ system health, and even risk factors tied to lifestyle, giving you real data to act on. What I like is that it's not guesswork. You can track changes over time and see how things like sleep, diet, or exercise are actually impacting your body, and taking the test at home was so easy. If you're serious about optimizing your health and longevity, this is a really powerful tool. Right now, Big Technology Podcast listeners can get 20% off at truediagnostic.com.
