What are the opening arguments and how do the hosts set up the tech debates?
You're watching today. Today's Friday, September 25th, 2026. We are live from the TVPN Ultra Dome, the Temple of Technology, the Fortress of Finance, the Capital of Capital. Let me tell you about dot com. Time is money, save both. These use corporate cards, bill pay, accounting, and a whole lot more. All in one place. Be the king in the castle. With ramp.com. Uh we got some debates on the timeline. I f I identified four debates, four you you you don't want to call them debates though. You wanna call 'em arguments, fights? I
thought arguments.
Okay, we're throwing down. We're throwing down.
Wouldn't wouldn't someone rather listen to an argument than a debate?
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't want it to be I don't want it to be a a help uh uh healthy, mature conversation. I want to I wanna be reaching over on a
debate
fight.
Uh first one, Microsoft. Are is Microsoft about to have their Muse moment? They've launched Copilot. Now they're launching a new product today. Is it gonna be a breakout success? Is it gonna compete directly with Meta and Muse? Or will it be a different thing entirely because it lives in the enterprise, it lives in the Microsoft ecosystem? Let's go to take him. He says shots fired. Pum pum pum. Microsoft will go after Meta's Muse from Alex Heath's interview of Satya Nadella. He's doing the rounds. He talked to Dia Drabosa, talked to uh Alex Heath over on sources.news, still cooking. Uh Quote from South Nadella or from Alex Heath. He wants to bring autopilot's AI chief of staff to your personal life too. It's not staying in XL, it's not staying in Outlook.
It's gonna be cooking dinner.
Big move going from a co pilot to autopilot. Autopilot, yeah, this is it.
Yeah, yeah. It is actually sort of the like uh, you know You w is this A GI, is this not AGI? Like if you're in the co pilot mode, you're sort of signaling we're not really in the A GI era. Autopilot feels more like Uh although it's a term, it's a vague definition, it is significant in the brand term. So uh it's a hardened version of OpenClaw. The agent gets its own computer, workspace, and memory to work continuously. Uh there was a very funny post from somebody uh in Meadow who is like, uh, you know, a lot of these agents, like the the the value prop is that it has its Yeah. Computer, it has its own virtual machine with some real hardware behind it, so you can have a file system. It has, I think, eight gigs of storage, so you can say
How is Microsoft’s new “Autopilot” product positioned against Copilot and Meta’s Muse?
Oh, I need you to download some images, some files, like keep them in your cloud so you can access them at all times. It can obviously build a database, save records, your contact information, your calendar, it can mirror that. So it doesn't need to be pinging every service all the time, doing everything in the context window. Uh in the ben in the Ben Thompson parlay, as it can write things down. This is very good. This is what everyone was doing with OpenClaw on their Mac minis. This is what people are doing with Codecs, Cloud Code. on their computers and codex of course has like Cloud threads that do something similar. The funny thing is that was like it's a real computer. This is a real computer. And then and then and they're literally using a virtual machine, which is still a real computer, like you have access to hardware, but it is a virtual machine.
Like when you're not using it, it goes dark and someone else uses it. And I think there's still some cons confusion. Because people were like, This isn't a computer at all. And it is. Well, yeah, it it sounds a little bit too Well yeah, it it sounds a little bit
too good to be true that uh They're not just gonna rack for you and just let you if you sign up once They're not just gonna rack for you and just let you if you sign up
once and never use it, that's just inefficient compute resources. Uh but but it's just funny that we live in such a virtual time that uh someone can very seriously and basically correctly be like, it is real. It's a virtual machine. It can't get any more real than that. It's like, yeah, it it it could, but why would you? So no one cares.
