The OpenAI/TBPN deal is a shocker that makes sense

Jordi Hays and John Coogan film their daily tech show, TBPN.

TBPN

• TBPN is a tech/business talk show with a small audience that takes up a lot of mindshare in media and tech circles.
• OpenAI is an $850 billion company that promises to change the world.
• Mashing the two together isn't an obvious choice. But there is some logic to it.

Last week, OpenAI was dumping side quests: Out went Sora, its once-hyped video app. Plans to launch erotic chats were mothballed.
