OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who reportedly led the push to remove Altman, noted on X (formerly Twitter) that he had some regrets about the weekend of chaos inside OpenAI. “I deeply regret my participation in the board’s actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI,” said Sutskever. “I love everything we’ve built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company.” Bizarrely, Sutskever’s name is on the list of resignations, too.
“I’ll do anything to reunite the company… in Microsoft.”

Now they have the team, the chip, the cloud and the IP.
They own openai’s ip?
Here is a comment I copied from Hacker News:
If they join Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft they will not need to start from scratch because Microsoft has full rights [1] to ChatGPT IP. They can just fork ChatGPT.
Also keep in mind that Microsoft hasn’t actually given OpenAI $13 Billion because much of that is in the form of Azure credits.
So this could end up being the cheapest acquisition for Microsoft: They get a $90 Billion company for peanuts.

Damn, all that because of the board. I reaaally want to know what actually drove them to fire Altman. I don’t think it was worth it but heh
Thanks!
I sense lawsuits in openai’s future.
This has become a genuine coup.

Microsoft is genius for arranging all this to happen.
