OpenAI has acquired TBPN, a live online talk show that airs weekdays at 2PM PT for approximately three hours, featuring prominent figures including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman alongside executives from Meta, Microsoft, Palantir, and Andreessen Horowitz. The acquisition marks an unusual strategic move for an AI company, extending beyond traditional product development and research into media ownership.
