Altman supporters have resigned. I have yet to see reports about rank and file people leaving en masse.

It could happen still, but it’s not obvious that it will.

As far as relationships go, they can build those. I doubt anyone who has access to OpenAI tech wants to give that up, so there is enough leverage on that to smooth things out

You're really undervaluing the fact that MS had a pre-existing relationship with Altman through these deals.

I think everyone is overvaluing what Altman brings to the table in terms of staying power. I don’t think MS is willing to simply throw in the towel on OpenAI because Altman isn’t there there anymore.

They’d be fools to do that if there is a path forward here. Short of them announcing on Monday that they are no longer selling their offerings, I don’t see how there won’t be a path.

Business is business, as all the VCs love to say, there is no room for emotion in this right?

Microsoft can exert massive pressure over OpenAI and it seems hilarious to think that OpenAI is the one in that relationship with the power.

That all depends on how much one believes OpenAI tech is far enough ahead that it’s too painful to replace, and that there is no way things can’t be established to be mutually beneficial
