In my humble opinion, everyone moved way too fast in this whole thing. I can't help but imagine that emotions were involved due to the speed.

Instead of a 5PM Sunday deadline, maybe it should have been "let's talk next week."

Maybe it would have worked out the same in any case, but it seems like it would have been wiser.

Microsoft must have pushed for the situation to be resolved before the market opens on Monday. They couldn't afford to drag it out.

Yeah, that makes sense. If that's the case, I wonder how sweet the offer to Altman and company was to move things along.
