Microsoft: We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI

Satya's todo list:

1. Hire Altman and co to prevent share price bloodbath (and reach new heights)

2. Gradually strangle OpenAI's access to compute resources to ensure their failure

3. Prevent competitors saving OpenAI due to continued large minority ownership

4. $$$

I name this an acquassination.

It's a master stroke and incredible good luck for MSFT. It'll pay for itself in share valuation increase and save them from actually buying OpenAI (not that they could have due to the non-profit, but they would have ages ago if possible).

Absolutely insane turnaround from the POV of the share price. MSFT went from dropping 1.5% on the news right before close Friday to a new all time high before the market opened Monday. Turning "MSFT's most promising investment is in serious turmoil" in to a positive news story before the market opened is crazy. Would love to be working a tech stock desk right now to know what it's like.

dropping 1.5% - those are rookie numbers in this racket.

They don't need cloud as latency is not an issue for research. They could pursue compute in Europe who may have better laws regarding privacy anyway. MSFT is a fat man trying to sit on the little man but the little man is more nimble.
