Microsoft gobbles up all talent from OpenAI as they just gave everyone a position.
So we went from "Faux NGO" to, "For profit", to "100% Closed".
Going from OpenAI to Microsoft means ceding the upside: nobody besides maybe Altman will make fuck-you money there.
I’m also not sure as some in Silicon Valley that this is antitrust proof. So moving to Microsoft not only means less upside, but also fun in depositions for a few years.
Wasn't a key enabler of early transitor work that required capital investment was modest?
SotA AI research seems to be well past that point.
They were simple in principle but expensive at scale. Sounds like LLMs.
My understanding was that practical results were indicating your model has to be pretty large before you start getting "magic."
What might have been tens or hundreds of millions in common stakeholder equity gains will likely be single digit millions, but at least much more likely to materialize (as Microsoft RSUs).
You get up two and a half million dollars, any asshole in the world knows what to do: you get a house with a 25 year roof, an indestructible Jap-economy shitbox, you put the rest into the system at three to five percent to pay your taxes and that's your base, get me? That's your fortress of fucking solitude. That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you.
