In theory, a significant group of senior researchers has agreed to resign. Additionally, investors have threatened a lawsuit and Microsoft has said they'll withhold cloud computing credits.

  The one thing the internet loves: drama and IRL narratives with twists and turns. Even when this story is mostly over we're going to have journo thinkpieces out of our ears.

    "...accept that their situation was untenable through a combination of mass revolt by senior researchers, withheld cloud computing credits from Microsoft, and a potential lawsuit from investors." https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2023/11/18/openai-investors-scramble-to-reinstate-sam-altman-as-ceo/?sh=182937bd60da https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2023/11/18/openai-in...

      I think we need to read this carefully. "Venture capital firms holding positions in OpenAI’s for-profit entity have discussed working with Microsoft and senior employees at the company to bring back Altman" "The playbook, a source told Forbes would be straightforward: make OpenAI’s new management, under acting CEO Mira Murati and the remaining board, accept that their situation was untenable through a combination of mass revolt by senior researchers, withheld cloud computing credits from Microsoft, and a potential lawsuit from investors" This is not saying that Microsoft has threatened to withhold the compute credits. It is saying that VC firms are hoping to use that as a strategy for force their hand. Microsoft may or may not agree to this.
