What is Sam's actual value re: AI and not just as a CEO/salesman-evangelist to get funding, which Microsoft doesn't need?

Is he particularly apt at leading/managing research teams? OpenAI's slow productization doesn't imply he's a product/idea guy a la Jobs.

At the least, probably a good PR move for MS. It's a good move to counter whatever weight would be going against the MS stock price given they made a huge investment into OpenAI.

Precisely why this was all announced into the early morning hours of Monday.

Makes sense why this was posted now.

I hope openai knows what they are doing. They have angered the man that turned microsoft from the dinosaur into the asteroid.
