OpenAI said it has acquired TBPN, producer of an online talk show featuring by-the-minute analysis of technology news and executive interviews, according to The Wall Street Journal, which added that the maker of ChatGPT declined to disclose the terms of the transaction. The show has become popular among Silicon Valley power players who consider it more supportive of their industry than traditional news outlets and guests have included Meta Platforms (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella and OpenAI’s Sam Altman, the report noted. OpenAI bought TBPN to encourage constructive conversation around the changes AI creates by helping the show grow, according to a memo sent by Fidji Simo, The Journal’s Katie Deighton reported.
