"it’s a dick move" implies that you are somehow entitled to that money. Otherwise it's a fair move.
It is extremely delusional to expect to receive $1 billion dollars unconditionally.
- bcrosby95 2y agoAs my dad used to say: being an asshole isn't illegal.
- xcv123 2y agoThey declined to give Elon Musk control when he offered them a billion to save the company. Instead they turned around and gave up control to Microsoft for billions. Do you honestly believe that if you were in Elon Musks shoes, that you would have given away a billion dollars without any conditions? How would you feel when you saw them turn around and sell out to Microsoft instead? Expecting $1B unconditionally seems like an asshole expectation. Delusional and childish entitlement. Do you believe that Microsoft has donated billions to OpenAI unconditionally?
- adventured 2y ago> How would you feel when you saw them turn around and sell out to Microsoft instead? They did not give up control to Microsoft. If that were true, the Apple deal (which Microsoft opposed) would not have just happened.
- xcv123 2y agoHaving Apple dependent on and paying for Microsoft infrastructure is a win for Microsoft. Of course the deal benefits Microsoft as much as Apple. Microsoft needs Apple as a strong competitor. Otherwise they will be declared a monopoly and broken up by regulators. Microsoft was smart to use OpenAI as a proxy for this deal.
- qarl 2y ago> Having Apple dependent on and paying for Microsoft infrastructure is a win for Microsoft. LOL! I would love to see your evidence that Apple's new AI offering will be running on Microsoft's infrastructure.
- xcv123 2y agoIt was a public announcement. https://openai.com/index/openai-and-apple-announce-partnership/ https://openai.com/index/openai-and-apple-announce-partnersh... OpenAI models run on Azure infrastructure. Apple is just a client and will be paying Microsoft via OpenAI to run it. Apple also has their own models running on their own infrastructure. I'm not saying that Microsoft or OpenAI has anything to do with that.
- qarl 2y agoThat's SO WEIRD. When I load that page, I see no mention of Azure.

- qarl 2y agoOpenAI's current infrastructure runs on Azure. Do you have any evidence that their new Apple services will run on Azure?
- qarl 2y ago> To answer your question below: Apple is a customer of OpenAI. They are using OpenAI as a service. The OpenAI models won't be running in Apple data centers. Don't move the goalposts. I asked you if you had evidence that it will run on Azure.
- qarl 2y agoIt's impossible to discuss this with you as you keep changing your comment. I never once implied it would run on Apple servers. You're putting words in my mouth. I am asking if you have any direct evidence that they'll be running on Azure. The fact that you keep dodging that question tells me you don't.

On the contrary, it was the fact Elon pulled the $1B he had previously offered that put the company in jeopardy. https://www.semafor.com/article/03/24/2023/the-secret-history-of-elon-musk-sam-altman-and-openai https://www.semafor.com/article/03/24/2023/the-secret-histor...

- andrewflnr 2y agoIt's a dick move to give people false expectations when you don't have to. It's a dick move to break your word. He didn't "have" to give them the money, but he didn't have to tell them he would give it to them either.
