This is boring news. I was really looking forward to another episode of Boardroom Shakeup.

It's interesting that Microsoft and Apple have made such deep integrations and are forgoing any direct control or influence. I am sure there are plenty of nonofficial channels, but it still is surprising.

What do they need board seats for? What happened the last time the board went to war with the money?

Is it plausible both Microsoft and Apple do not see reliance on OpenAI after some not distant future dates?

Arguably Apple does prefer to use in-house models and their OpenAI involvement was said to be more "knowledge transfer" than any concrete plans to rely on OpenAI models. Microsoft definitely heavily uses ChatGPT, but also has their fingers in plenty of pies, including their in-house Phi series of SLM models and rumors of a ChatGPT hard fork (as the one company most allowed to hard fork ChatGPT when they feel like it).
