New York CNN — Microsoft stock reached a record high on Monday after the company said that Sam Altman, former chief executive of OpenAI, will join the company to head its artificial intelligence innovation leg.
They won’t be starting over at all since MS has access to the source code and IP according to this article: https://stratechery.com/2023/openais-misalignment-and-microsofts-gain/
Wow, that article was extremely insightful, thanks for linking that. With all of that context, I am suddenly feeling a lot more uneasy about all of this. Microsoft is essentially taking over OpenAI without having to take it over, pretty freaking wild. Additionally, without OpenAI’s safety teams providing direct oversight on their tech, one can only hope that Microsoft’s AGI progress is slow enough so that regulators get off their asses and get some safety barrier laws in place.
