Like a bad marksman, you keep missing every time.

I think they're very talented.

And I take OpenAI at its word that they're looking for a news distribution channel and a content distribution channel that offers a positive perspective on AI.

Why they can't do it in-house, why they need TBPN, question mark.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis

But I do think that TBPN guys are very competent at finding interesting stories.

When I made the Eon announcement of the first uploaded fruit fly, the TBPN staff reached out to me almost immediately.

Almost no one else did.

And they booked me almost immediately.

So I think that shows a certain level of competence to TBPN.

to be able to chase breaking technology news that I haven't really seen elsewhere.

Much more efficient.

Peter, I'll ask you a question.

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis

I asked a panel of mine at today's event at MIT.

Do you have a prediction for when the FDA is likely to launch, given that it's collapsed recently at this announcement from a two clinical phase approach to a one clinical phase approach?

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman, AI Job Loss, and OpenAI’s $852B Valuation | EP #247

When do you think we get zero clinical phase trials from FDA?

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman, AI Job Loss, and OpenAI’s $852B Valuation | EP #247

What's your timeline for that?

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis
Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman, AI Job Loss, and OpenAI’s $852B Valuation | EP #247
