    Massive self-own on the part of the OpenAI board and possibly one of the biggest conceivable wins for Microsoft in a long time. Microsoft has it’s hand in both pies (OpenAI and Sam&co) and also has significant developments on the chip side too. Is this the turning point we’ll look back on when Microsoft dominates the AI space?

      Possibly yes, but it is also Microsoft and they have been known to fuck a thing or two up despite having all the advantages.

        It’s true, but being a close 2nd behind Apple for most valuable public company by market cap is not a bad place to land despite it.

    There’s an interesting late stage capitalism argument that eventually all the CEOs and boards will be at each other’s throats. When infinite growth begins to slow the only way to increase profits is to takes someone else’s. I’d argue a glorified chat bot is already evidence of the tech sector cannibalizing itself. The ai craze is respectfully relatively very young and its leaders are already stabbing each other in the back.
