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.

Did it? I mean, it may have bought President Pedo the couple of months he needed to win an election against a historically awful opponent, but given his 32% approval rating and being stuck in a war that was supposed to distract from the detention camps that were supposed to be a distraction from the tariffs that were supposed to be a distraction from DOGE which was supposed to be a distraction from the pedophilia, I think it's fair to say that buying a mouthpiece isn't a durable solution to the problem of being objectively stupid
