Holy shit Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella just made a huge 4D chess move

[Remij]

Long story short:

-Sam Altman is essentially the face of AI and CEO of OpenAI
-It's suspected there was a recent breakthrough they found which will push AI further than anyone ever thought possible
-The board was split on how the company should proceed given this breakthrough
-Sam Altman was suddenly fired by the board of OpenAI, presumably due to being at odds with some board members
-Prominent OpenAI members begin revolting, threatening to leave with if Sam isn't reinstated and the board resign
-MS owns a large portion of OpenAI and their stock stumbles a bit off the news
-OpenAI board and Sam + a another person who were fired have discussions about their return with a 5PM deadline
-Deadline comes and goes, negotiations were still happening, board raises idea of bringing in new CEO along with Sam
-Satya Nadella swoops in, hires Sam Altman and a few others directly to Microsoft, giving them anything they wanted and all the compute power in the world to do it
-Microsoft still committed to working with OpenAI
-Thus Microsoft will have access to all the code, all the weights + information which is stored on their Azure servers
-And they will have the brightest and best minds creating a new wholly Microsoft owned solution

Satya Nadella turned a potentially disastrous situation for Microsoft into an incredible positive for them which will lead them to become the biggest/richest company in the world by far.

Yay! more money for Microsoft! I'm not a lemming but I will be celebrating this.

If any company on Earth made an IRL skynet it would be Microsoft. They would probably charge you a subscription fee to not be terminated too.

It's sad it's call "open" ai. That's pretty disengenous

That was brilliant. 
That was a boss move. 
Unlike Wokeny firing their top dog devs because of a failed company acquisition.
