I imagine they're doing a lot of development and it can be hard to make sure new products are eg gdpr compatible (not to mention the fact that they might want to have it do different things in order to help students in other countries)

To be clear: I think Microsoft would gladly pay 100bb to acquire OpenAI (although I think that one would give the lawyers a headache given the weird corporate structure) I don't think OpenAI would sell though The top people at OpenAI a

Tbh I don't think OpenAI would sell for 100bb unless they are seriously strapped for cash and can't fundraise any other way. Given their current revenue projections I would be surprised if that happened
