Listen.

I was confused when the whole thing was going down.

I was more confused when the whole "board wants to backtrack and maybe resign" thing was going down.

I got even more confused when Emmett Shear was announced as the CEO.

...but never in a hundred years would I have imagined "haha just join Microsoft" as an actual alternative.

I remain, confused.

By joining Microsoft, they retain access to all the data, weights, and infrastructure they had at OpenAI. They don't have to start from scratch and ramp up. They can start up right where they left off.
