"A source with direct knowledge of the negotiations says that the sole job of this initial board is to vet and appoint a new formal board of up to 9 people that will reset the governance of OpenAl. Microsoft will likely have a seat on that expanded board, as will Altman himself."

So basically, the outcome of this drama is that Microsoft gets more power without having to invest anything?

This is my take too, and I'm sure in the shadows their plan is to close off the APIs as much as possible and try use it for their own gain, not dissimilar to how Google deploy AI.

There is no way MS is going to let something like ChatGPT-5 build better software products than what they have for sale.

This is an assassination and I think Ilya and Co know it.

What product do you envision OpenAI selling would be better than Microsoft?

I emphasized product because OpenAI may have great technology. But any product they sell is going to require mass compute and a mass sales army to go into the “enterprise” and integrate with what the enterprise already has.

Guess who has both? Guess who has neither?

And even the “products” that OpenAI have now can only exist because of mass subsidies by Microsoft.
