Massive self-own on the part of the OpenAI board and possibly one of the biggest conceivable wins for Microsoft in a long time. Microsoft has it's hand in both pies (OpenAI and Sam&co) and also has significant developments on the chip side too. Is this the turning point we'll look back on when Microsoft dominates the AI space?
Possibly yes, but it is also Microsoft and they have been known to fuck a thing or two up despite having all the advantages.
It's true, but being a close 2nd behind Apple for most valuable public company by market cap is not a bad place to land despite it.
