Microsoft is huge. They're always prepared to take on a few hundred new employees.
These will come at a premium. Not only are they high-demand jobs, but they'll absolutely be sued by OpenAI if they hire away half the staff of a company with which they had a business relationship. Those legal fees alone will be 8 figures even if they win.
they spent 10 figures on openai already. 8 figures for the whole openai team is pennies
I'm positive that lawyers will get super involved and a lot will depend on the various contracts which we don't have any visibility into. But from an ethical standpoint, the openai board shat in the bathwater and can't really complain if people get out and move over to a cleaner pool.
Maybe they are not doing it to move to cleaner water but maybe they were promised more fish if they do by certain fisherman conglomerate. But i could be wrong.
