embrace! extend! terminate! << Microsoft
but jokes aside, this is crazy. Sam becomes the head of OpenAI again since Microsoft has a lot of say into OpenAI and it will do anything to support its customers and keep the AI integration going into its products with no obstacles.
but i dont know OAI doesnt seem to have a future. What a stupid blunder by the people who built it. Microsoft is going to get a butter smooth transition behind the scenes, they get all the talent, the gpt-4 (and 5 too) and will throw OAI into the dustbin once the transition is over. Right now Sam being part of MS gives assurance to all customers that Microsoft will keep the ship flowing without or without OAI. Once MS is on its own, Sam will also leave to do his own thing as he is.
What talent? Mostly managers
Microsoft has been working with OAI on integrating GPT into products, and there has probably been a lot of technical knowledge spread back and forth.
Now Microsoft has the leadership team from OAI, as well as whatever information OAI wasn’t sharing with Microsoft before, and they can probably start transitioning away from their reliance on OAI.
So, according to you MS has all the technical knowledge needed, they were just just missing the key ingredient of Sam Altman.
Lets say i disagree with that notion.
