    Oh I wish we can get the scoop on the internal gossips… seems pretty juicy under the covers.

    This was a serious coup, even if it doesn’t look like it. It may also mean MS may get on wrong foot with OpenAi…

      Maybe MSFT will put Sam in charge of managing the Open AI relationship. Microsoft must have some say in how their $10B investment is used lol.

        In general, the way these work is in stages. It’s not like an investor hands over the full wad of cash in one go. It’s done in stages. Milestones are laid out and as each one is met they get the next installment of money. So investors have a lot of say about about it.

      I think they were already there with the coup leaders. My understanding is that Sam being so cosy with Microsoft was one of the big reasons for the coup. Sam was the force at OpenAI behind Microsoft’s involvement in the company. That commercialization was at odds with the other board members non-commercial aims.
