I don’t think you can co-create a supercomputer with a company and not be deeply involved with them. Combine that with the inherent power Microsoft has because of their money, and I think it’s pretty easy to see how they could exercise control indirectly.
Wait, do you mean that the majority stakeholder in a company would try to control it? Pickachu face
Yes, i am aware that the actual problem is that it is being done covertly and that the manoeuvring might have been to take control of the Non Profit
They’re not a majority stakeholder. They invested $13b and a lot of that wasn’t cash, it was just credits to use Azure.
That’s more money than anyone else has invested so far, but it’s only about 2 weeks revenue for Microsoft and not even close to enough to fund OpenAI.
Wether or not they’re a non profit? I dunno. OpenAI’s structure is pretty unusual.
