If you're an OpenAI engineer, now would be a good time to ask for a raise.

Google and Microsoft are todays big winners.
Microsoft has a huge stake in OpenAI, so they're very much a loser.
IdK Satya might sense there's a wounded gazette in the midst, and starve OpenAI for funds, and pick up the pieces.
I don't think microsoft has the culture to be competitive on the cutting edge of AI.

If they try to integrate OpenAI, they will suffocate it.

So did Google some with DeepMind. All the big innovations were at DeepMind, and then they got bought, stifled and absorbed. Big companies have a hard time innovating, so buy it.
And then, 80% of the time, they suffocate what they bought.
Microsoft not very much
They have the GPT tech, now they can poach the talent from openai without guilt
Why should they feel guilt for giving workers a chance to get paid what they really are worth?
Because capitalism is a bad thing for rich people when poor people also get to do it like they do.
