When news broke last week that OpenAI was buying the Technology Business Programming Network, a streaming talk show popular with a small but influential Silicon Valley fanbase, some thought it was a belated April Fools’ Day joke.
TBPN co-host Jordi Hays winked at the idea on last Thursday’s livestream.
“It is 364 days until April Fool’s,” Hays interjected as co-founder and co-host John Coogan introduced the show.
“We have some huge news,” Coogan chimed in. “This is from the OpenAI blog: ‘OpenAI acquires TBPN, accelerating the global conversation about AI.'” He reassured viewers: “This is real.”
