OpenAI Acquires TBPN: AI Labs and Media Influence Expansion
By
–
OpenAI has acquired TBPN, a livestreaming tech talk show complete with suits and gongs. Could definitely imagine AI influencers or other AI podcasters – not just builders like Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw – getting acquired by AI labs or partnering with them as well. "Media" and where education and influence take place is much broader today than it was pre-ChatGPT. Just look at what Rundown AI has been able to pull off with their newsletter alone. Worth it to note that the majority of comments on the YouTube stream announcement are either negative or congratulating them on making money.

Lenders Prioritize Fees Over Founder Success and Growth

Why aren’t these lenders doing that?

Because they’re fee seeking mfers who don’t know how to start and grow a small business. Much easier to get rich off fees from gatekeeping the capital than actual align with a founders success. pic.twitter.com/n1PcAs9fhrWhy aren’t these lenders doing that?

But now, the breakthroughs are no longer theoretical. Reasoning, coding, agents, and self-improvement are all starting to work at once. This episode goes deep on AI winters, OpenAI + OpenClaw, infrastructure overbuild risk, proof-of-human, why software may soon be written mostly for bots, and why the real bottleneck may be society adopting AI rather than the models improving.

By

Why don’t they apply for an SBA loan?
— 🖤 Christine (@christinelu) 3 avril 2026
Because even as a startup founded by a 2nd generation construction entrepreneur with a pipeline of jobs, you still need to have at least 3 years of tax returns to qualify.
So, it’s 3 years of predatory lending if you can survive that. pic.twitter.com/k6YODBQpK5Why don’t they apply for an SBA loan?
