OpenAI has struck a deal to acquire TBPN, a technology-focused talk show popular in Silicon Valley, making an unexpected move into broadcasting after pledging to abandon “side quests” and focus on its core business.
The ChatGPT maker had purchased the 11-person company in a “low hundreds of millions of dollars” deal, according to a person with knowledge of the terms.
TBPN did 5 mil in ad revenue last year and one of the owners is a friend of Altman. Hundreds of millions is ludicrous for a fucking podcast, like even Rogan didn’t get this much and that was already a stupidly uneven deal
