OpenAI has acquired TBPN, the Silicon Valley tech podcast known for hosting executives from major technology and AI firms including Sam Altman, Meta, Microsoft, Palantir, and Andreessen Horowitz. The show broadcasts live weekday episodes at 2 PM PT, often running three hours, and has cultivated a devoted audience among tech entrepreneurs and industry insiders. TBPN will continue operating independently under OpenAI's oversight, with Chris Lehane, OpenAI's chief political operative, serving as supervisor. The acquisition underscores how prominent AI companies are increasingly investing beyond pure product development.
