Julien calls OpenAI acquiring Disney in 2027
By

in 2027 OAI will acquire Disney i'm calling it John Coogan (@johncoogan) TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI! The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday. This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward. — https://nitter.net/johncoogan/status/2039756493621542915#m

OpenAI acquires TBPN, maintaining editorial independence and resources
By
–
Having worked closely with @DylanAbruscato @johncoogan @jordihays and the TBPN team over the past year, I couldn't be more excited to see @OpenAI supporting new media in such a big way. AI is moving fast, and the old comms playbook just isn’t enough. We need to support better ways for people to follow what’s happening, understand what matters, and hear directly from the people building this stuff. TBPN has already cracked a lot of that and I can't wait to see where we go from here. Also- it's important to note that TBPN will keep its editorial independence. They’ll keep running their programming, choosing guests, and making their own calls. That independence is core to why people trust them, and we’re protecting that explicitly. Jordi Hays (@jordihays) TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI The world is changing quickly but TBPN will stay the same. Live every weekday just with a lot more resources. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of this journey big or small. We are 17 months in and unironically just getting started. — https://nitter.net/jordihays/status/2039756490387624327#m

x402 Protocol Joins Linux Foundation as Payment Primitive
By

ICYMI: x402 just landed a home under the Linux Foundation The same neutral nonprofit that stewards Linux, Kubernetes and some of the most critical open source infrastructure on the planet when a protocol lands here it is a signal that the industry considers it foundational TLDR: i) Coinbase, Cloudflare, Stripe, Google, Microsoft, AWS, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Shopify, Circle, Solana Foundation and others are all founding members of the x402 Foundation ii) x402 is the payment primitive the web never had; HTTP moves data, x402 moves money, natively at the protocol level iii) rail-agnostic; fiat, crypto, multi-chain, no ideological gatekeeping iv) built for the agentic web; agents need to transact programmatically without human authorization loops v) no single company owns it; that is the point we published a full @KhalaResearch deep dive on x402 last month covering the architecture, facilitator model and the broader agentic commerce stack (visual below) I'll link the full report below: Coinbase 🛡️ (@coinbase) x.com/i/article/203965656653… — https://nitter.net/coinbase/status/2039689438922522728#m

AI Replacing Radiologists: CEO Ready to Implement Despite Skepticism
By
–
It has become pretty routine to make fun of @geoffreyhinton's prediction that #AI would soon replace radiologists, as there is no evidence for it so far. But… "CEO of America’s largest public hospital system says he’s ready to replace radiologists with AI" (Note that doctors enjoy regulatory protection that the average white-collar worker can only dream of.) #RiseoftheRobots Link in reply
