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.

And for the OpenAI employees, they can just switch the badge in a blink second, it almost feel like a no-brainer to many.

I think Sam just took the easier route to rebuild OpenAI within MSFT.

Now the trouble comes to the SV VCs they now will be furious.

He wasn't the guy who built it, he was the guy who got things funded. Let's see how many of the core OpenAI people join. I.e. the ones that weren't (just) there for the money / post ChatGPT.
