    I mean, I get why people would not like this but it is a value proposition. They think a random OpenAI employee is much more valuable than a some Microsoft employees. Hence, they’d rather boot specific Microsoft employees and hire OpenAI people instead.

      I mean articles like this are kind of bullshit propaganda anyways. Microsoft is such a big company that there is going to be a huge range of opinions. The author is just selecting one opinion for their own reasons

      Yep plain and simple. Everyone’s catching up to OpenAI and this is hardly any secret. MSFT team should know that they are second-stringers, but I’m sure they’ve been thinking much more of themselves.

      The OpenAI people built ChatGPT, the Microsoft folks worked on Clippy.
