I don't understand this at all. 58.2K youtube subs and under 3k views on most videos. This seems like they have barely just started?

They're primarily a Twitter phenomenon and get circulated quite widely within the tech sphere there.

They’re more active on Twitter/X,

idk what it is about them that every "tech bro" type guy around me follows them, but I never followed them myself, so I was surprised to know they only have 300k on Twitter.

Not sure either, it seems like OpenAI has more money than they can spend and just looks for outsized bets.

Never heard of it.

TBPN was also reportedly on track to do $30M in sponsorship revenue this year, up from $5M last year. Audience size is modest but targeted & high value per viewer (mostly decision makers in tech).

seems about right. They came across as the yes men of podcasts for tech people that want to pretend they are doing no wrong, maybe i just chose a really rough 10 minute section of a random podcast though, but not one moment did they not come across in that manner.

Their primary outlet is Twitter, not YouTube.

It’ll be some sort of investor fraud. Like it’s Sam’s friend who will give him most of the billion back or whatever.
