Not sure how buying a podcast is going to help pay the bills, Altman.

Open AI’s core business is lying to inflate their stock price. This tracks.

11 person company with 65,000 subscribers to their channel. Dude pays like $3000 per subscriber. Be cheaper just to pay people to listen to him.

They may be the only company in this space as unfocused as xAI. They basically bought a podcast to use as a mouthpiece. It’s just dumb and anyone who would consider investing in this company as to doubt their leadership and decision making. What a waste of their money.

Super. Media is always better when big corporations control the content.

Never heard of it, like ever. Seems like such a great investment, therefore. /s

Probably insider corruption. Like the corporate sales agent or podcast employee is somehow related through friendship or blood to someone at openai.

Hey does everybody remember when OpenAI killed Sora after a few months, allegedly to focus on their core product? Seems OpenAI forgot that commitment. Wouldn't be the first commitment they forgot.

>making an unexpected move into broadcasting after pledging to abandon “side quests” and focus on its core business. That's exactly what they're doing here tho... The "core business" is hype, because hype is the only reason to use, invest in, or support current AI. There's nothing they can do to raise share price more than buying an existing reputable source to make it a propaganda shill. The author is still operating under the assumption that AI can be made profitable if only they work a little harder. It's not gonna happen, it's a fucking boondoggle who only exists to grift investors. Once you're roped in, you have a financial incentive to perpetuate the grift. And now TBPN (whatever that is) has a financial incentive to tell people how great AI is

Remember when facebook bought instagram for whatever stupid amount it was and there was that audio of the instagram guys howling with laughter? Do we get one of those with this as well?
