    A view on whether this development (preparing SF office for hundreds of OpenAI people to jump ship) rises to the level of bad faith, when viewed in light of Satya's Nov 19th pledge "We remain committed to our partnership with Open

    Clever. That’s pretty neat that they were able to make their API perfectly drop-in compatible.

    Best theory I've heard is that the board sought to distance themselves from Sam because they got advance warning of the big copyright infringement lawsuit that just dropped today. In other words, what if they knew the suit was coming a

    And what possible motivation would they have to do so? This is the biggest new development in the last two days, and it's well-written, with good grammar, etc. There is ZERO reason for legitimate users to flag this story.
