Why is it wildly unlikely 5/7ths of the company may resign and the ceo they pissed Off controls their services. It’s more than likely.

You're right. It totally could happen. I'm just saying it doesn't sound like this is the path they could take. Though I've been wrong before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's unlikely that 5/7th of the employees of OpenAI have even had a real conversation with Sam Altman. That's a lot of fucking people, for a young and hyper-active company and a very busy CEO. Given that, I consider it unlikely that 5/7th of those employees would put their livelihood at risk to protect Sam.

  Microsoft has given every OpenAI employee a job offer. Also it's 700/770 employees that have signed the letter stating they will leave now, not 5/7s. Those 70 holdouts are probably on vacation.

    I suppose if they have credible offers that changes the calculus.

  Uh … at risk? You mean staying an OpenAI is a sure thing? I feel like you don’t understand the scenario they are facing at all.

Nobody is resigning and giving up their openai shares to go be a cubicle wage worker at Micro$oft

  I thought this as well. However, this team could be given the option to be completely remote. And if they're given equal shares of $MSFT it could be compelling. The trajectory OpenAI is taking means the stock could go the way of WeWork and be worthless in the coming years. Of course, all of this is speculation and the only people who know what's going on are the board and their new CEO. There could be a scenario that this stabilizes and everything will be ok.
