"Bret Taylor, the former co-CEO of Salesforce Inc., will be on the new board, several people said. Another possible addition is an executive from Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest shareholder — but Microsoft hasn’t decided whether it wants board representation, some people said."

hah, Microsoft will be in control from here on out whether they have someone technically on the board or not. They did the embrace and extend now we're on to extinguish.

Hard to see how embrace, extend, extinguish fits here. There's no standards-based app ecosystem that depends on some community standard for interplay that they can break by getting market-wide adoption of their proprietary standard. ChatGPT's IO is natural language text prompts/answers. Can MS really create a proprietary extension to natural language, that the world recognizes?
