OpenAI Acquires Tech Talk Show TBPN

OpenAI has acquired TBPN, a popular technology-focused talk show, in a deal reportedly valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars. This move into broadcasting comes despite recent internal directives from OpenAI to focus on core business lines like ChatGPT and coding tools. TBPN, known for its interviews with tech leaders and focus on AI's impact, will remain editorially independent and based in Los Angeles. The acquisition aims to foster constructive conversations about AI's evolution and distribution, with TBPN's hosts reporting to OpenAI's head of global affairs.
