    > We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.

    > We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.

1- So what was the point of this whole drama, and why couldn't you have settled like this adults?

2- Now what happens to Microsoft's role in all of this?

3- Twitter is still the best place to follow this and get updates, everyone is still make "official" statements on twitter, not sure how long this website will last but until then, this is the only portal for me to get news.

Satya comes out great, making the absolute best of a given shitty situation, with a high stake of 10 B USD.

Microsoft is showing to investors that it is going to be an AI company, one way or the other.

Microsoft still has access to everything OpenAI does.

Microsoft has its friend, Sam, at the helm of OpenAI and with a more tighter grip on the company than ever.

Its still a win for Microsoft.

Satya just played the hand he had. The hand he had was excellent, he had already won. MS already had perceptual license, people working on GPT and Sam Altman on his corner.

The one thing in Microsoft has stayed constant from Gates to Ballmer to Satya: you should never, ever form a close alliance with MS. They know how to screw alliance partners. i4i, Windows RT partners, Windows Phone Partners, Nokia, HW partners in Surface. Even Steve Jobs was burned few times.
