This is just another rich asshole, folks are acting like this guy is an AI genius. Hes a less crazy Musk, he just has money

[–] Jabroni@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

While that might be true, it's also true that the majority of his previous staff at OpenAI are standing up and defending him. That's saying something.

I wish I had the foresight to do an options call on Microsoft stock last Friday...

[–] Destraight@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago

Ah ok I get it

Massive self-own on the part of the OpenAI board and possibly one of the biggest conceivable wins for Microsoft in a long time. Microsoft has it's hand in both pies (OpenAI and Sam&co) and also has significant developments on the chip side too. Is this the turning point we'll look back on when Microsoft dominates the AI space?

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Possibly yes, but it is also Microsoft and they have been known to fuck a thing or two up despite having all the advantages.

[–] stifle867@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

It's true, but being a close 2nd behind Apple for most valuable public company by market cap is not a bad place to land despite it.

Altman had a crazy damn weekend.

Microsoft has a partnership with OpenAI. I’m sure Microsoft is happy to have someone in-house who knows all of those secrets.

Microsoft had a partnership with OpenAI.

Now, Microsoft hired one of the core people who created OpenAI.

[–] dandi8@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Isn't he only a CEO? What exactly did he himself create?

[–] canis_majoris@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's apparently been integral to the growth of OpenAI, I've heard he personally interviewed the majority of folks currently in the company.

[–] deur@feddit.nl 0 points 2 years ago

Ugh anyone who has ever had to deal with a CEO knows that isnt even a good thing by default.

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They still say they’re committed to the Open AI partnership in the article.

In practice I wonder if they’ll quietly withdraw in the next couple years as sama and co rebuild within Microsoft itself.

That’s pretty much exactly what I expect MS to do here.

Of course they do. He will probably fit right into the for protit megacorp.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Let's not pretend that openAI isn't for-profit.

I'm not, closedAI has long sold their morals.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Microsoft is hiring former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman.

Altman was fired from OpenAI on Friday, after the board said it “no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.” After a weekend of negotiations to potentially bring Altman back to OpenAI, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced both Sam Altman and Greg Brockman will be joining Microsoft’s new advanced AI research team.

“We’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team,” says Nadella.

“We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.”

He's playing at Portals. opens a door at OpenAI, walks out at the other end at Microsoft.
