AI is getting bigger, richer, and messier.

In this episode of TechTacToe, we break down the biggest stories shaping the future of tech: OpenAI’s reported IPO plans, SpaceX’s historic public market debut, Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire, Meta engineers reportedly calling their new AI work “soul-crushing,” Anthropic facing government restrictions over AI safety concerns, and Apple finally trying to catch up with Siri AI at WWDC 2026.

We discuss whether the AI boom is creating the next generation of trillion-dollar companies, whether Big Tech’s AI race is starting to crack internally, and what happens when governments begin treating frontier AI models as national security assets.

Also in this episode:
- Anthropic’s AI safety warnings backfiring on Fable model
- OpenAI’s path to a possible trillion-dollar valuation
- SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO and retail investor frenzy
- Meta’s chaotic AI reorganisation
- Apple’s long-awaited Siri AI comeback
- Whether the AI boom is innovation, a bubble, or both

This week in tech felt like one giant AI announcement.

Google I/O’s latest announcements were heavily AI-focused. Figma introduced AI agents. Spotify is experimenting with AI-generated podcasts. Airbnb is expanding AI into customer experiences.

We’re joined by software developer Okiki Oyeleke, who brings over a decade of experience building software products, to unpack what all of this means from a developer’s perspective.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why AI fatigue is becoming real
• Figma AI Agents and the future of creative work
• Whether products like Google Search and Notion are getting worse from AI overload
• Spotify, Airbnb, and whether AI is removing the human touch
• Why developers should still focus on fundamentals
• Junior talent, side projects, and staying competitive in tech

We also discuss job fears, personal projects, and whether tech’s obsession with AI is helping or hurting products.

Featuring software developer Okiki Oyeleke, creator of Dev Cards.

This week’s episode feels like a glimpse into where the tech industry is heading next.

From fake restaurants successfully getting approved on food delivery apps using stolen images and fake details, to major tech companies doubling down on AI while cutting jobs, the line between innovation and recklessness seems thinner than ever.

We also discuss Tim Cook reportedly stepping down after 15 years as Apple CEO, what that could mean for Apple’s future in the AI race, and the growing rumours that OpenAI may be building its own smartphone with Jony Ive involved in the design.

Plus:

• Anthropic partnering with SpaceX to power Claude
• Coinbase and Cloudflare layoffs amid the AI efficiency push
• Samsung officially joining the trillion-dollar club thanks to demand for AI chips

This episode connects the dots between AI ambition, corporate power, consumer trust, and the future of tech as we know it.
