OpenAI shot themselves in the legs with a 12-gauge shotgun when they fired Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.

Expect Microsoft Copilot to eclipse ChatGPT.

The Board though is unlikely to face any personal consequences though. 3 out of the 4 of them are CEOs of their own companies, with the fourth being OpenAI's chief scientist.

Regardless, this move will very much tank OpenAI since now the advantage is in Microsoft's court.

I see this a lot, but two people, especially those not doing the work, do not make a company. They started something great, but hundreds of talented people have been driving the ship for a long time now.

Which way did the scientist vote?

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

The scientist was the ringleader around the effort of ousting Altman, apparently.

They were right, he never opened the technology.

Doubt it very much. Alt-man is just a grifter and the limits have been reached for the word predictor. The only thing Microsoft has been doing is hype and pissing off customers with it.
