here's your afternoon TNB Tech Minute for Thursday, April 2nd. I'm Danny Lewis for the Wall Street Journal. A federal regulator is suing three states over their attempts to ban sports and election related betting on platforms like Kalshi and polymarket. In civil complaints filed today, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission argued that it has the sole authority to regulate contracts offered by prediction markets. It asked federal courts in Arizona, Illinois and Connecticut to block those states from applying their own gambling laws to prediction markets, which technically offer financial derivatives similar to commodities futures. The move comes as the Trump administration ratchets up its defense of prediction markets, which let people bet on everything from Major League Baseball games to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Polymarket has a data partnership with Dow Jones, the publisher of the Wall Street Journal. We exclusively report that OpenAI has acquired TBPN, an online talk show popular among Silicon Valley power players that aims to compete with Bloomberg and CNBC, according to a memo sent by OpenAI's CEO of applications. The ChatGPT maker bought the show in order to encourage constructive conversation around the changes brought by artificial intelligence. OpenAI says TBPN will remain editorially independent, and the terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The news comes days after OpenAI closed the largest funding round in Silicon Valley history and as the company shifts its business to concentrate on serving businesses and developers. News Corp. Owner of the Wall Street Journal, has a content licensing partnership with OpenAI, and analysts say tech giant Baidu is likely to maintain its near term momentum thanks to its efforts at commercializing AI through cloud services in the Chinese market. In a research note, Citi analysts say they are constructive on Baidu, given its spinoff of its semiconductor chip subsidiary and the growth momentum of its Robotaxi business. And that's it for your TNB Tech minutes. We'll have another quick tech update in the morning.
