I believe a precondition for Sam and Greg returning to OpenAI is that the board gets restructured (decelerationists culled). That is probably good for MSFT.


truly a Win-Win-Win-Win-Win situation for MSFT


MSFT is like that.

Someone playing Game of Thrones is sneaking up with a dagger, but has no idea that MSFT has snipers on all the rooftops.


It helps that their corporate structure [1] is better equipped for it than OpenAI’s.

Doh!


But probably better for Sam to stay with OpenAI right? More power leading your own firm than being an employee of MSFT


He has a green light to build a new thing and operate it as its own, obv. MS will own most of the equity but then he will have something as well.

OpenAI is a non-profit, so, no material benefit to him (at face value, I don't believe this is the case, though).


I would imagine he would have leverage to get a pretty good deal if OpenAI want him back
