Seeing as Sam and Greg now work for microsoft I'd say this is late
Late only because of how swiftly Sam and Greg had agreed to work for Microsoft. This is sent on the first day back to work after the firing assuming OpenAI doesn't work full staff over the weekend. Furthermore contacting 700 people and getting a response back takes a little time too.
Let's be honest, Microsoft will probably be happy for Sam and Greg to return since OpenAI is almost a Microsoft company and it causes the least disruption. Alternatively could OpenAI go to ๐ฉ and Microsoft lose their Edge (๐) over competitors in this space.
Microsoft would never aquire an innovative company just to ruin it.
Oh that, like all that went before it, will be ruined accidentally. MS is second only to IBM in the rate and effectiveness of companies consumed and shat out. But not maliciously; just, feeding MS for another year or two isn't compatible with the continued life of the food item.
Dunno, Google is up there too
I didn't say that
Microsoft was also the biggest early investor in OpenAI, anyone that wants to leave that company has a guaranteed job at Microsoft, bet on it.
Might not be able to hire them due to non compete clauses though if they exist
It think Pres Biden killed that this year. Like, they're all unenforceable. Confirm that, but I remember something about that.
They are illegal in California.
