Sam Altman not returning to OpenAI. Hired by Microsoft to start new team

Microsoft acted quickly, considering its share price is heavily tied to OpenAI. Looks like Sam is taking all the talent with him.

Microsoft has hired OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman to head up a “new advanced AI research team,” the software conglomerate’s chief Satya Nadella said Monday, capping three days of intense discussions following the unexpected decision by OpenAI’s board to dismiss Altman.
Many OpenAI members, including the co-founder Brockman, left the firm in protest last week. Altman will serve as the chief executive of the new AI group at Microsoft, Nadella said. “We’ve learned a lot over the years about how to give founders and innovators space to build independent identities and cultures within Microsoft, including GitHub, Mojang Studios, and LinkedIn, and I’m looking forward to having you do the same.”
Nadella said Altman and Brockman will be joined by “colleagues.” Former OpenAI top talent Szymon Sidor, Jakub Pachocki, Aleksander Madry are joining Microsoft with “more” to follow suit, Brockman said in a post on X.

So, OpenAI’s board tried a coup and it backfired in every definition of the word.

Sam Altman
Figured he'd get picked up by another group. He fits right in with the rest of them.

All the talent is leaving or will leave OpenAI, then it will tank. Microsoft will buy it up and install Altman back in charge and the rich only get richer.

Microsoft pretty much ran OpenAI anyway.

I know all employees aren't equal, but the board clearly didn't read the room and realize that most of the people working there have bills to pay.

So the goal is still to have Sam return to OpenAI. Microsoft, I assume, is stabilizing the Monday market with its hire announcement.

Because at the end of the day they need money to fund their dreams.

Microsoft's stock price hit an all-time high Monday, as investors reacted to former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman joining the Big Tech giant.
Shares climbed as much as 2% to $377.10 before paring to a 1% gain around 10:30 a.m. ET on. That increase added $54 billion of market value to the tech giant and extended its torrid year-to-date stock gain to 57%.

quote:Yeah, I guess this was MSFT's roundabout way of getting him to stay while appeasing the board. Basically if those employees "leave" to join Altman they are still under the same corporate umbrella since MSFT was so heavily involved in OpenAI. What a botched job!

Withholding one’s access dependent on obedience, for example
This obviously different than limiting your kids screen time or allowance if they act up

The new CEO pick pretty much shows exactly what was happening: Sam Altman was moving too fast.
Here's the new CEO, founded Twitch.

Maybe this entire thing was orchestrated to screw initial employees out of equity payouts ?
