Satya is “furious.” What’s reasonable about pissing off a guy who can pull the plug? I don’t think it’s definitionally non-obvious whether to take that risk.

Surely Microsoft can terminate their Azure access? Why piss off your largest supplier?

Well, you have to specify a jurisdiction. Let’s go with California since that’s where a lot of OpenAI’s employees are. Here’s what you need: 1. an economic relationship existed between the plaintiff and a third party which contained a reaso

Sam’s forced departure and Greg’s ousting demonstrably leaves OpenAI in incompetent and reckless hands, as evidenced by the events of the last 24 hours. I don’t see how the field is better off.

Neither. Unnecessarily politically combative language doesn’t contribute to the discussion here.

I have to downvote. I don’t think this kind of agitprop belongs on this site.

Tortious interference? It’s pretty textbook right?

Microsoft is a stakeholder. It’s absurd to suggest otherwise. The entire stakeholder concept was invented to encompass a broader view on corporate governance than just the people in the boardroom.

Having read up on some background not sure I want this guy in charge of any kind of superintelligence.

He’s talking about complaining about the board and other individuals involved.

It seems incredibly risky to give Microsoft’s lawyers $10bn worth of reason to take a close look at a novel corporate structure and surrounding case law. Why not cut a deal for a spin out?

Never said it was okay to lie. I am saying a competent board could have handled things differently. Depending on what actually happened, everyone can be in the wrong here.

Why would anybody in her position ever take the job? How’s she going to smooth things over between that board and Nadella, considering he put in $10bn and they ousted both the chairman and CEO without telling him?

> How do you distinguish between an incompetent non-profit board and a board you disagree with? Take a look at the board composition and its recent actions.

Hypothetically how would you handle an incompetent nonprofit board?

The board probably sucks and Sam lies to deal with it.

If prices went up and occupancy went down, it would be difficult to claim otherwise. Why let units sit empty?

It’s openly a grift. The fundraising messages are disingenuous.

It’s not the high road. They sell more expensive ads into it. I hope there’s a way to turn it off on my iPhone.
