So it seems that a bunch of ex-openai core people will move to MS, and possibly work on the same stuff, depending on what MS has access to based on their openai investment deal. They're most likely to focus on bringing stuff to the enterprise market fast.

At the same time what's left of openai will put the breaks on stuff and possibly emphasise safety and slowing down. I think everyone will come out of this kerfuffle having "won" what they wanted. No idea how this will impact the overall field, but possibly some players will get a free catching-up opportunity. Maybe.

From the article as well: Greg Brockman, OpenAI co-founder, is also joining Microsoft as part of a new advanced AI research team

Oh I wish we can get the scoop on the internal gossips... seems pretty juicy under the covers.

This was a serious coup, even if it doesn't look like it. It may also mean MS may get on wrong foot with OpenAi...

He wanted a place where he could reap profits, stock options and no regard for AI safety. Welp should’ve seen this coming.

Why are there so many Sam's dickridder on Reddit talking as if Sam is the main man behind OpenAI's recent success over Ilya, who was already an accomplished scientist when he was still in academia with Hinton?

If they fire Ilya over Sam and he move Google/Meta/X, I believe they would surpass OpenAI very quickly.

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.

Total clown fiesta 🤡

I was hoping for a shakeup and all we got was an expensive game of musical chairs? Meh.

I can’t imagine working at OpenAI, staring at an $80B valuation, and then having some self righteous prick torpedo the entire company.

I hope I read this situation right that OpenAI is trying to avoid getting dragged further into the for-profit corporate machinery. In the light of all the ClosedAI memes, I'm so confused why the majority seems to cheer for Sam. He's the guy that turns startups into billion dollar companies.

Here I am just hoping any of it becomes open source.

IDC about more wannabe corporate models.

ok so ilya tweeted this: " I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company. " i think its some positive news! and sama made hearts to it <33

We are all going to die.

This is how we get the ship computer. Now all we need is a ship.

So Sam doesn't give a damn about open source?

Considering the letter, Ilya's very quick apology that doesn't align with how he's being portrayed as an ego driven guy and how quickly Microsoft hired Sam and Greg, is it possible that Satya planned this whole thing from the beginning?

What I want to know is, howTF does MSFT manage it's 49% multi-$B share of OAI, and a new AI division with CEO Sam Altman at the same time? Seems like a total train wreck.

That was fast. Very fast. Kind of makes me wonder who was zooming who here…

... and that is how you gut a fish.
