If they join Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft they will not need to start from scratch because Microsoft has full rights [1] to ChatGPT IP. They can just fork ChatGPT.

Also keep in mind that Microsoft hasn't actually given OpenAI $13 Billion because much of that is in the form of Azure credits.

So this could end up being the cheapest acquisition for Microsoft: They get a $90 Billion company for peanuts.

This is wrong. Microsoft has no such rights and its license comes with restrictions, per the cited primary source, meaning a fork would require a very careful approach.

“Microsoft Chat 365”

Although it would be beautiful if they name it Clippy and finally make Clippy into the all-powerful AGI it was destined to be.

It is too bad MS doesn’t have the rights to any beloved AI characters.

Google really should have thought of the potential uses of a media empire years ago.

I guess they have YouTube, but it doesn’t really generate characters that are tied to their brand.

Maybe they can come up with a personification for the YouTube algorithm. Except he seems like a bit of a bad influence.
