This might as well be as good place as any to say that I wouldn't be surprised if in 20 years time we find out that the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft was also done in OpenAI's favor. I know it's probably a crazy theory, but it did cross my mind a few months ago.
- whimsicalism 3y agoDoesn't make any sense timeline wise, business execs at Microsoft were probably not thinking seriously about openai at the time
- kirubakaran 3y agoThe really impressive feat here is not even that, but MS inventing time travel to acquire Github before OpenAI was a twinkle in Sam Altman’s eyes

- kirubakaran 3y agoYou’re right, my bad, I misremembered the Github acquisition year
