Don’t they own like 40+ percent of OpenAI?
If most of their employees leave for MS they’re pretty much getting them for free, like GamePass, they’re already paying for it but getting some perks?
Will suck if it hurts OAI and they have to let go of people to try and recover
If the CEO and nearly all the talent leave and go to MS, its like they bought OpenAI for half of its stated value. That's nearly unheard of in the tech world. Outside of have to on-board hundreds of employees and set up a new division, this would be a huge win for MS and it avoids regulators completely.
