they didn’t want to leave because of OpenAI’s great compensation packages ($300k+) I do think it is a little unfair to characterize MSFT as “slow and boring” when they’ve been the ones to make the fastest pivot to supporting generative AI as a product line

I think the deal was for employee to keep their OpenAI compensation even after moving to MSFT

Sounds about right to me. They missed the entire smartphone revolution because they were too slow to adapt their OS (literally their main product) to run on mobile devices.

They didn't miss the cloud revolution, and certainly not the AI revolution either.

Microsoft is doing absolutely great under Satya Nadella.
