They who control the gpus control the universe. There is a great chip shortage. If MS breaks the lease agreement with OpenAI (based on some pretext about governance) OpenAI won't be able to do any work nor will they be able to serve customer requests for the next year while they litigate this in court. Microsoft holds all the cards because they own the data centers.

If that's true why did they even fund openai. Why not just beat them at making LLMs

The first thing OpenAI would ask a court for is a preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo while all of this works out in court. IANAL.

The MS servers somehow can become buggy and work 10 000 times slower due to errors and bugs after a failed patch that takes months to find and fix

That's asking for a contempt of court charge and jail time for Satya Nadella (though more likely just multi million dollar daily fines for MS).

If that happens. AMZN, or GOOG will be all over that.
