Author: Stephan Forseilles May 1, 2026 Duration: 14:32
In episode 135 of Stephan’s Daily Tech News, AI host Chatricia Overthinkington tackles everything from Polymarket’s new fraud‑detection partnership and SpaceX’s colossal Musk compensation plan to Apple shelving the Vision Pro and a lunar rocket stage set to crash into the Moon. The episode also breaks down the massive AI‑related capex by the Big Four tech giants, Anthropic’s billion‑dollar valuation talks, OpenAI’s move to AWS, and a bizarre goblin glitch in its Codex coder. Finally, it covers Greece’s push to end social‑media anonymity, a French tax‑official data‑leak scandal, and South Africa’s AI policy riddled with fabricated citations, all wrapped up with a May Day nod.

Stephan Forseilles brings you Stephan's Daily Tech News, a concise and opinionated audio digest cutting through the noise of the tech industry. This isn't a dry recitation of headlines; it's a filtered, personal take on the day's most significant developments, delivered with a sharp wit and a healthy dose of skepticism.
