      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.

    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?

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

        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.

    There’s an interesting late stage capitalism argument that eventually all the CEOs and boards will be at each other’s throats. When infinite growth begins to slow the only way to increase profits is to takes someone else’s. I’d argue a glorified chat bot is already evidence of the tech sector cannibalizing itself. The ai craze is respectfully relatively very young and its leaders are already stabbing each other in the back.

    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.

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

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

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

        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.

    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.”
