In case the marriage between OpenAI and Microsoft ends, I'm pretty sure that Google, IBM, Facebook and any over big corp will try to step in to replace Microsoft.
- huytersd 3y agoMicrosoft owns 49% of OpenAI. They’re not going to let them jump in bed with someone else.
- robg 3y agoThey own that in a subsidiary of the non-profit, not the controlling non-profit itself.
- LeafItAlone 3y agoWho owns the 51%? Seems like if it’s the non-profit, MSFT can make any demands and suggestions they want, and the 51% perfect can say “that’s nice” and do what they want. Which is probably why MSFT owns _only_ 49%?
- edgyquant 3y agoAnd the non-profit board is the majority stakeholder, so MS doesn’t have a day
- vb-8448 3y agoYeah, I definitely agree. I was just responding to the user who was saying that without Microsoft, OpenAI cannot survive.
- infecto 3y agoIt’s easy to imagine it but I think the reality would be a little stickier. Msft still has its investment active.
