OpenAI is Microsoft. Microsoft is a FAANG giant.
- lucianbr 2y agoHow is that relevant? Microsoft bought OpenAI, didn't create it by R&D, so the assertion stands: giants don't do new things, for whatever reason.
- SideQuark 2y agoThe amount of fundamental breakthroughs at places like IBM, Bell, Xerox, all beg to differ with you. In some fields of CS, places like MS research garner nearly 50% of all top conference publications.
