Option 3: negotiate a deal with a corporate partner with terms that mean it's more lucrative for them to help you succeed rather than take steps to ensure you fail at the first sign of trouble seems like a better choice.
Clearly the possibility of OpenAI failing is not independent from the behaviour of its corporate partner. And I'm not sure Microsoft's negotiation is quite bad faith enough or their interest in OpenAI low enough to have made the entire deal contingent on the "if/when we decide to move aggressively against your company so it collapses we get exclusive free in perpetuity access to everything you ever did and no more caps to the profits from them" clause. If it's in there, it's in there because they signed a bad deal rather than because it was the only possibility.
- jacquesm 3y agoWho will do that after MS already has been given all but the keys to the kingdom, and with all of the results of your efforts almost automatically flowing to your competitor by way of the deal that precedes yours?
- notahacker 3y agoIts the original deal I'm saying shouldnt have been considered on "keys to the kingdom... if we should happen to unfortunately die" terms (I think my edit to make that clearer came after your post)
