Microsoft has hired OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman to head up a "new advanced AI research team," the software conglomerate's chief Satya Sam Altman and Greg Brockman and many of their former OpenAI colleagues will join Microsoft, Satya Nadella said.
So Microsoft is going to compete with themselves? (Microsoft owns 49% of openai)

Sam probably still controls a ton of shares, so I think effectively this would give them >50% of shares as long as they are partnering.
Back both horses and drop the one that loses the race.
Same jacket, different pocket
@silencioso competing with themselves isn’t that weird, for example Pfizer makes both Viagra and its generic competitor Avigra.

Watch them flat out buy OpenAI then just reinstate these guys.
If OpenAI wanted to sell out, they wouldn’t have fired Altman
