Never assume someone is winning a game of 5D chess when someone else could just be losing a game of checkers.

#203If they join Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft they will not need to start from scratch because Microsoft has full rights [1] to ChatGPT IP. They can just fork ChatGPT. Also keep in mind that Microsoft hasn't actually given OpenAI $13 Billion because much of that is in the form of Azure credits. So this could end up being the cheapest acquisition for Microsoft: They get a $90 Billion company for peanuts. [1]…
I got the impression that the most valuable models were not published. Would Microsoft have access to those too according to their contract?

#204> Remarkably, the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company’s CTO who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place. What in the world is happening at OpenAI?
Ilya is much less active on Twitter than the others. The rumors that blamed him emerged and spread like wildfire and he did nothing to stop it because he probably only checks Twitter once a week.

For people who appreciate some vintage British comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpc5_3B5xdk The whole thing is just ridiculous. How can you be senior leadership and not have a clear idea of what you want? And what the staff want?
Knew it had to be Benny Hill before I clicked. Yackty-sax indeed.

If it weren’t so unbelievable, I’d almost accuse them of orchestrating all this to sell to Microsoft without the regulatory scrutiny. It’s like they distressed the company to make an acquisition one of mercy instead of aggression, knowing they already had their buyer lined up.
I haven't seen brand suicide like this since EM dumped Twitter for X!!! (4 months ago)
