Artificial-intelligence giant OpenAI has acquired TBPN, aka the Technology Business Programming Network, a media start-up that hosts a talk show about Silicon Valley and finance that has streamed online for about a year.

“TBPN has built something pretty special,” Fidji Simo, CEO of applications at OpenAI, wrote in a memo to staffers Thursday. “It’s one of the places where the conversation about AI and builders is actually happening day to day. A lot of you already watch it, and rely on it to stay close to what’s going on.”
