In case the marriage between OpenAI and Microsoft ends, I'm pretty sure that Google, IBM, Facebook and any over big corp will try to step in to replace Microsoft.

Microsoft owns 49% of OpenAI. They’re not going to let them jump in bed with someone else.

It’s easy to imagine it but I think the reality would be a little stickier. Msft still has its investment active.

They own that in a subsidiary of the non-profit, not the controlling non-profit itself.

Who owns the 51%? Seems like if it’s the non-profit, MSFT can make any demands and suggestions they want, and the 51% perfect can say “that’s nice” and do what they want. Which is probably why MSFT owns _only_ 49%?

And the non-profit board is the majority stakeholder, so MS doesn’t have a day

Yeah, I definitely agree. I was just responding to the user who was saying that without Microsoft, OpenAI cannot survive.
