Lol. Microsoft will drop them as soon as Altman is successful with his new project. What a dumb decision.

Are those tweets actually from his sister? I get that the focus is on the billion dollar company, but this guy might have molested his sibling, and that's barely getting any attention? :deadbanana2:

Good lord, Microsoft’s gridlock on AI right now is insane. Google in shambles.

 

I suspect Microsoft will wait for OpenAI to basically become defunct to buy up the remainder of their assets.

It's a weird structure of non-profit realizing that they needed money for doing research and created a for profit subsidiary company to make the money for being able to do research.

OpenAI is an American artificial intelligence (AI) research organization consisting of the non-profit OpenAI, Inc.[5] registered in Delaware and its for-profit subsidiary OpenAI Global, LLC.

It is the board's duty to ensure that they aren't going too commercial and that's why they kick the CEO out.

 

The outside world looks at it differently.

In January 2023, OpenAI Global LLC was in talks for funding that would value the company at $29 billion, double its 2021 value.[50] On January 23, 2023, Microsoft announced a new multi-year US$10 billion investment in OpenAI Global LLC.[51][52] Rumors of this deal suggested that Microsoft may receive 75% of OpenAI's profits until it secures its investment return and a 49% stake in the company.[53] The investment is believed to be a part of Microsoft's efforts to integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT into the Bing search engine. Google announced a similar AI application (Bard), after ChatGPT was launched, fearing that ChatGPT could threaten Google's place as a go-to source for information.[54][55]

Microsoft spends billions on it and doesn't want to some dumb board ruining it. Now we can watch how the CEO and 700 out of 770 employees jumping ship.

Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s four days in exile, several staff researchers sent the board of directors a letter warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

 

The previously unreported letter and AI algorithm was a key development ahead of the board's ouster of Altman, the poster child of generative AI, the two sources said.

 

According to one of the sources, long-time executive Mira Murati mentioned the project, called Q*, to employees on Wednesday and said that a letter was sent to the board prior to this weekend's events.

 

The maker of ChatGPT had made progress on Q* (pronounced Q-Star), which some internally believe could be a breakthrough in the startup's search for superintelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans.

Source hmmm…
