Media shifts big time today. Why is @tbpn getting bought by OpenAI important? (Technology Business Programming Network) Because media is about to shift HARD to being done by AI. Look at the news site I turned on yesterday. 100% built by AI. https://t.co/8L5xphk0qQ It already wrote about the news and says "it's a big day." But there are bigger shifts coming. AI, like the site/system I built, will: 1. Watch the news on services like X, and elsewhere. 2. Write about it. 3. Come up with its own reporting (something like @boardyai will be built to call sources and do its own reporting, like calling the local fire chief after a big fire to get more details). 4. Build a new kind of 24-hour-a-day personalized news show. My site already gives the basics, the AI I used built an MCP server, an OpenClaw feed, a way to create a podcast on @NotebookLM, an email newsletter, and an RSS feed. All built by two people (me and @blevlabs) with about $10,000 investment. And it costs a few hundred dollars a day to run. Soon we'll have a show up on @HeyGen too. Grok can already simulate any conversation between me and anyone else. Here it has me interview @jordihays one of the cofounders of the network: https://t.co/xtZrs8TJhF about the future of media. Took two minutes to do. Now take that over to @NotebookLM and it'll create a video, a slide deck, a mind map, an audio podcast. Here I did it for you: https://t.co/Yr3BrAhtlP It is creating a video as I talk. And the podcast is highly interesting on this topic. All built in minutes. The news isn't even an hour old yet. It created a slide deck, that I took the graphic for this post from. Now what does TBPN have? A great library of the biggest AI thinkers. It's been interviewing the top CEOs every day for more than a year. That dataset gives TBPN and OpenAI a huge dataset to train new models to do new kinds of journalism and create a 24-hour-a-day TV channel that's almost wholly AI generated. Or at very minimum AI produced. My AI already tells me everyday who I should interview. Theirs will too. And take care of all the grunge work to setup the show, call the guests, prepare them for being on air, and schedule everything out. Even there AI can help viewers who don't have time to watch all the interviews. It can automatically clip out pieces of the interview, and present them to people in a highly personalized way. Someone interested in medical companies would only see news for them and that would be different than news presented to someone who cares about automotive news, for instance. This slicing and dicing is huge. At GTC I talked to @furrier, founder of another news network. He has a similar dataset, since his company does interviews at many of the big technology shows. He told me it's his dataset that has value. He's built a similar AI system that can cover news in a much more intelligent way than if you don't have that kind of database of thousands of tech interviews. It also gives OpenAI a way to make sure its point of view is distributed to everyone. And that will get more important soon as Google, Meta, Apple and others bring "AI glasses" that let you see the news in a whole new way. Google's glasses arrive in October. I keep hearing OpenAI is working on some too, but even if it decides not to, it will be an important AI on the others and it will bring those users this personalized news system, and other kinds of content too. 18 months from now this whole system will be built. Every journalism firm will need to do the same to survive. Journalism outlets need AI partners. And fast. Or they will get completely locked out. That's why media just had a major shift today.
