Pretty bad look for Satya to be honest. 12 hours ago, everyone was convinced Satya was playing 4D chess, but in reality Occam's Razor again - he was just lying.

As Matt Levine likes to say - everything is a security's fraud and in this case, it might actually be. It is now abundantly clear that those statements were merely to hold the stock price drop come Monday.

So now Sam and Greg have Satya in their pocket, probably a more powerful position than being in the OpenAI management

This just makes me way more curious about Sam’s behind the scenes behavior that pushed the board into firing him. Satya being an obvious liar makes me far more inclined to believe that they had very legitimate reasons for this. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re staying vague to avoid the possibility of defamation suits if it ends up being a he said/she said situation without hard evidence. The whole OpenAI and Microsoft relationship stinks of anticompetitive behavior and a planned monopoly.

  Per Satya's interview with Emily Chang, Sam & Greg never joined Microsoft. You can watch the interview to see how he avoids the question and then talk about Microsoft AI. And remember, he did this AFTER the markets closed, so he was sitting on this information the whole day.

    > I’m super excited to have you join as CEO of this new group, Sam, setting a new pace for innovation. We’ve learned a lot over the years about how to give founders and innovators space to build independent identities and cultures within Microsoft, including GitHub, Mojang Studios, and LinkedIn, and I’m looking forward to having you do the same. This was the tweet. Read it carefully.

      That's old news right now. Watch the interview after the markets closed. Here's a bit more context - https://www.threads.net/@reckless1280/post/Cz4ulUmLh2_ https://www.threads.net/@reckless1280/post/Cz4ulUmLh2_

        They know. They're saying to read the original tweet more closely. It was very carefully phrased. Technically, it doesn't say what everyone assumes it said. He never says "Sam has accepted an offer of employment." He just says he's "excited to have [Sam] join" and he's "looking forward to" working with him. All technically unfalsafiable statements about his feelings and state of mind. They're even addressed -to Sam-. They're the kind of thing you could imagine someone saying to you at the end of a job interview that ended with an offer which you technically haven't accepted yet.

Delusional. You think that Satya would say “Sam is joining” if Sam didn’t at least verbally accept an offer? You win for stupidest comment on the internet.
