- sillysaurusx 6y agoThey were forced to give Microsoft exclusive access, because it was one of the terms of Microsoft's billion-dollar cloud credit investment. But you can't pay employees with cloud credits, so time will tell whether it was a correct decision. (It probably was. And I exaggerate slightly; the investment included a substantial sum of real dollars too. But most people see that billion dollar investment and think it's all dollars, when in fact it was largely credits.)
- part1of2 6y agoIs that only for GPT-3? Or for everything they produce?
- sillysaurusx 6y agoI don't know for certain, but it was probably everything. The investment was vital.
