I woke up and the first thing on my mind was, "Any update on the drama?"

Did not expect to see this whole thing still escalating! WOW! What a power move by MSFT.

I'm not even sure OpenAI will exist by the end of the week at this rate. Holy moly.

Seems more damage control than power move. I'm sure their first choice was to reinstate Altman and get more control over OpenAI governance. What they've achieved here is temporarily neutralizing Altman/Brockman from starting a competitor, at the cost of potentially destroying OpenAI (who they remain dependent on for next couple of years) if too many people quit.

Seems a bit of a lose-lose for MSFT and OpenAI, even if best that MSFT could do to contain the situation. Competitors must be happy.
