Choice? Are you framing this as though the whole situation didn't go pretty well toward msft's favor?

Now they get 40 percent of open ai talent and 50 percent of the for profit openai subsidiary.

Pretty sure when the market opens you'll see confirmation that they came out on top.

It's a win for everyone honestly. Anthropic split all over again but this time the progressives got pushed out vs the conservatives leaving voluntarily.

They couldn't keep nice under the tent. Now two tents.

Little diff because this time an investor with special privaleges made a new special tent quick to bag talent.

Easy decision for msft. No talent to competitors. Small talent pool. The other big boys were already all over that. Salty bosses at other outfits. No poach for them. Satya too clever and brought the checkbook plus already courted the cutest girls earlier for a different dance. Hell he was assisting in the negotiation when the old dance got all rough and the jets started throwing hooks about safety and scale and bla bla we all know the story.

Satya hunts with an elephant gun with one of those laser sites and the auto trigger that fires automatically when the cross hair goes over the target. Rip sundar. 2 rounds for satya. One more and I feel bad for Google... Naw... Couldn't feel bad for Google. Punchable outfit. They do punchable things. We all know it... I'm just saying it.

It's pretty naive IMO to think Google isn't going to come out with something that threatens OpenAI or Microsoft. It seems to be "they didn't do it yet so they won't ever" is the majority opinion here, but they have a ton of advantages when they finally do

What? I didn't say anything about the likelyhood of competition to state of the art.

You are imagining I fall in a crowd you've observed. Maintaining statute of the art ofc is a constant battle.

Google could be top dog in 2 weeks. Never insinuated otherwise. (though I predict otherwise, if we're gonna speculate)

Its not even relevant because each big firm is specializing to a degree. Anthropic is going for context window and safety... Bard is all about Google priorities... Ect
