#122Great…now OpenAI will become Microsoft Cortana SkyNet ClosedAI.
Somehow I doubt this will lead to a safe rollout of more and more advanced AI in the future.

How are they back when the only thing they manage to do is "pump money into already successful things"
To me this is a sign they are no longer able to compete and are failing back, the only growth they expect is from acquisitions
This is not looking good

#124I expect this deal to be a must for Microsoft. OpenAI is probably very happy to raise the stakes as much as possible. So we will see how many billions Microsoft ends up paying for this.
Still, is there a world in which we look back 10 years from now and think that we were overvaluing the impact of AI?
(For example, this did happen with tablets, when people thought that the iPad would replace "computers"...)

Ironic you say this given that Google is the one to invent language models to begin with and GitHub was an acquisition.
I personally don’t think there have been any amazing consumer tech breakthroughs by any big tech in the last 5 years.

#126I wonder if OpenAI will make more revenue than Minecraft over the next decade.

How does it matter if a company buys or builds new projects?
Betting on the right things is a hugely valuable skill.
See Android, Youtube, Instagram, Tesla ... All projects that someone believed in, bought them, put money in, and then they became huge.

Language models predate Google by 10+ years. I found references dating as far as 1987.

#129So I guess we can remove the "Open" in OpenAI then?

VSCode, Minecraft, Teams.
They have renewed their grip on several audiences.
