OpenAI acquires TBPN

[Webistics Research]

Brutal. Why cant a podcast just be a podcast? Sam must want to push a narrative which is a bad sign for OpenAI.

Posted on April 2 or April 1? Lol. The fact that it's published today makes this hilariously ambiguous.

For all those yet to understand this, here's the tl;dr:

TBPN has been able to achieve what very few new-age media aspire to -- multi-platform dominance!

They do YouTube, podcasts, social media, and newsletter -- all at once, every single day.

And OpenAI has been struggling with their narrative and PR for some time now.

So this isn’t OpenAI “buying a podcast".

This is OpenAI acquiring a high-agency media team that can shape perception at scale.

Congrats to you guys!

And OpenAI naturally promised full editorial independence…. History of course offers no reason to doubt them. I choose to remain optimistic though.
