granted, now MSFT basically has another research arm like Google Brain/FAIR, but whether or not their "brain trust" can equal Yann Lecun's or whatnot who knows. Altman and Brockman are on the MBA side of things. The ML magic was Ilya's. If they can recruit a bunch of mini Ilya's over from Open AI, maybe they have a chance at regaining the momentum.

Ilya has backtracked and signed the letter saying he would also leave to Microsoft if the board doesn't resign.

Ilya signed a letter asking 4 members of the board to resign, including Ilya himself. He even posted a public apology for his actions on X https://twitter.com/ilyasut/status/1726590052392956028

Yes, this is probably the biggest self-own in corporate history.

In one fell move he demonstrated he had neither conviction nor any foresight, ouch. I'm starting to believe this was just a unthought out ego emotional reaction by Ilya. Dude is like Walter White, he just "had to be the man"
