The AI device wars are officially on as Meta poaches top Apple talent. Is the metaverse dead? It's code red for ChatGPT and Netflix agrees to buy Warner Brothers Discovery. That's coming up on a Big Technology Podcast Friday edition right after this. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition where we break down the news in our traditional, cool-headed and nuanced format.

We have a great show for you today. We're going to talk all about the AI device wars now that Meta has poached Apple's top design talent. We're also going to touch on the end of the metaverse, or that's what it looks like, code red for ChatGPT, and then we're going to break down this Netflix deal for Warner Brothers Discovery. We are here fittingly in studio at Spotify, and we're joined as always by Ron John Roy of Margins.
