WOW! Clearly some funny business going on at OpenAI, as people have speculated. I always assumed Sam Altman was too smart to be in a situation like this. I have heard grumblings about suspicious corporate structuring, behind the scenes profit taking, etc. All speculation though.
The All In podcast had some words about this a few months ago, though they spoke in generalities.

- toddpgood 3y agoWhich podcast episode was this?
- sanex 3y agoEpisode 142 starts at about 1 hour 5 minutes if they're talking about the one I just went back to watch.
- paxys 3y agoKickbacks from Microsoft would be my guess.
- outside1234 3y agoSay what you will about Microsoft but they are Boy Scouts on investments. No chance anything illegal there. That said, Sam could have committed to an acquisition without the board's approval or something insane like that.
- hanzmanner 3y agoNot sure if you are being sarcastic. MS has been sued for bribery and kickbacks and has paid a sizable fine to settle (including a criminal fine) with the US Justice Department. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-microsoft-settlement/microsoft-to-pay-criminal-fine-to-settle-u-s-anti-bribery-charges-idUSKCN1UH1P3/ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-microsoft-settlement/micr...
- FranksTV 3y agoHaving been sued for something like that tends to empower lawyers to turn a company into a boyscout.
