Summary
This Diet TBPN segment from September 10th, 2026 covers three intersecting stories: the ongoing AI safety timeline debate (benchmarking AI 2027’s predictions against current conditions), Bending Spoons’ acquisition of Miro for $1.79 billion, and early reactions to Apple’s iPhone Duo foldable announcement.
The Miro deal is dissected in detail: the acquisition price represents an 89% discount to Miro’s prior peak valuation of $17.5 billion and comes in at under three times revenue — a dramatic compression that the hosts use to raise broader questions about whether AI-driven productivity tools are quietly eroding the SaaS market. The conversation explores whether Bending Spoons is building a portfolio play by combining Miro with Airtable, or simply acquiring known brands with efficient operations. One host raises the pointed question of whether a micro-SaaS apocalypse — invisible in the revenue numbers of Salesforce-tier players — is materializing at the mid-market level.
On AI safety, the hosts check AI 2027’s September 2026 forecast: economic disruption for junior software engineers is predicted but not clearly showing up in job market data yet, while the forecast for a 10,000-person anti-AI protest remains far off at only dozens of attendees in San Francisco. The segment is a tight, data-grounded snapshot of AI’s economic and cultural moment.
