I find this whole thing hilarious. Clearly the CEO was going ham doing AI things and becoming the face of this wave of AI, and events that occurred made the board react to save the ideology of the entity -- which is the way the entity was structured, also 49% is not ownership, it's close, but not exactly. The firing was meant try to dampen the ego and influence of the CEO as well. Now, there is a new CEO, great. But yeah, morale is going to be pretty much in flux for a while. This has clearly disrupted OpenAI's ability to function and therefore contribute more to either research and/or productization. Sam and Greg going to M$FT only matter if their influence and leadership can bring the right people together. OpenAI had the right people to create GPT-3+, but now, seems like they won't. M$ST probably won't either. Now each entity is actually weakened for a number of months I would presume. M$FT will try to push forward whatever productization of the current AI products it has access to. OpenAI will struggle to figure out if it's a pure research entity now or what.
