    Wait, isn’t openai basically reliant in Microsoft for hosting as well as most of their product offerings? And doesn’t Microsoft own LinkedIn? Or am I out of the loop.

      i doubt microsoft cares. they’re going to be competing in the space wherever openAI is hosted, might as well be making money from azure while doing it. Azure probably hosts many companies that compete with microsoft in some way.

      Yeah you’re right about both things, but OpenAI has been looking to decrease its dependence on Microsoft.

      Yeah they have rights to their IP, a share of the first 100 billion in profit they might hypothetically make one day, and provide most (all, up until jan of this year) of their cloud service. They also oppose OpenAI’s bid to convert to a non-profit by year end, which a huge chunk of their funding is dependent upon. It really a strange play tbh.
