Yeah, that's a good way of looking at this.... I didn't understand the Microsoft move at all. Why would an "open" non profit want to build business relationships with tech monoliths. It seemed antithetical, but I honestly had assumed that was more of a board/share holder decision... Sounds like that probably wasn't the case.

I thought the board was on board too... But it came when Musk pulled promised funding on the run up to gpt4. It was a shit bird move, but it seemed like it was just picking the best of bad options to keep the lights on in a critical time

I mean, no arguing that he sold their souls to Microsoft though... They've made openai products part of every service they run, and seem to have nudged their trajectory significantly
