Seems like Microsoft’s Satya is furious, and who can blame him? They invested so much in OpenAI and then the board does this sneaky change, regardless of the reasons, is shocking they didn’t communicate with Microsoft… If this article is accurate I bet they will have a much harder time securing funding, no one wants to invest in turmoil and uncertainty.
That part made me smile. It is a pretty good news that MS is not in control of OpenAI.
And if it turns out that this drama really happened out of safety concern rather than personal profits or ego, I would like people to take a step back and realize how great of a news as to where we are as a society.
This is probably great for Microsoft. Their investment got them low level code access and rights, but OpenAI competed with them for AI services. With OpenAI going more towards non-profit, and Sam now being hire-able, Microsoft may have inadvertently acquired the entire business portion of OpenAI.
