They don't even need all 700+ or even 500 or even 100 employees to join. If they can get the 4 technical members of the executive team not counting Ilya - Mira

They don't even need all 700+ or even 500 or even 100 employees to join.
If they can get the 4 technical members of the executive team not counting Ilya - Mira, Woj, Bob, and Peter, plus a few other key people like Karpathy then they have what they need and OpenAI is effectively dead.
- outside1234 3y agoBut it is not in Microsoft's benefit that OpenAI is dead - they do not have the chops internally to compete yet (my take at least)
- DebtDeflation 3y agoI mean, hiring all 700+ of them would certainly mean OAI was dead, what is your point?
- lordnacho 3y agoMaybe there's a gap between "OpenAI is dead" and "MSFT can build the same"?
- vorticalbox 3y agoThey already can build the same given they have access to everything as part of their deal.
- jatins 3y agoIt's a great negotiation tactic from MS imo so that OpenAI employees don't budge on their petition knowing MS is backing them
- anon7725 3y agoOpenAI may be dead but OpenAI 2 at MS is not guaranteed to live. Building OpenAI at Microsoft from scratch is a tall order.
