I think Microsoft probably picks up all of OpenAI if OpenAI gets in financial trouble.

Yes, I think that’s their plan. Remember when Altman got fired from OpenAI? Msoft was right there with open arms. Msoft is probably letting OpenAI do the dirty work of fleecing investors and then when all their money is gone doing the R/D, MSoft scoops up the IP and continues on.
