But why would Microsoft do anything to hurt their business in any way? They are almost certainly more furious for the way they found out than the actual action taken. Given how much Microsoft has bet their business on OpenAI (ask yourself who replaces bing chat? Why does anyone actually use azure in 2023?) being surprised by structural business decisions in their most important partner is shocking, and I think if I were the CEO of Microsoft I would be furious at being shocked more than pining in some weird Altman bromance.

Microsoft finally has a leg up on Google in the public eye and they're gonna toss it away for Sam Altman? Seems dicey.

Hypothetically he might also have very little trust in the decision making abilities of the new management and how much their future goals will align with those of Microsoft.

When I see it, it has always been “Amazon is a competitor and we don’t buy from competitors”.
