The underlying assumption here is that Sam would be willing to sell OpenAI.
I don't think that's the case. There's no amount of money that Microsoft could throw at Sam to convince him to sell. Not only is he already wealthy, but he's also a true believer in AI. And unlike Snapchat, it's going to be very hard for incumbents to clone.

- temple_os 4y agoDALL-E 2 was a LOT better than Stable Diffusion. Sure it was open source but it was clearly a generation behind. Great if you didn't mind your inputs looking like last year's AI output.
- whywhywhywhy 4y agoDisagree completely. If you know what you're doing SD is at least comparable if not aesthetically superior to Dall-E.
- scandox 4y ago> There's no amount of money that Microsoft could throw at Sam to convince him to sell. Every experience I ever had of people who achieve power and success tells me that you are wrong. His own wealth is irrelevant. His beliefs are also not relevant. It is very likely he will want to "take the next step". He can always use that next shit ton of money to invest in the next big thing in AI.
