minus-squareHaMMeReD@alien.topBtoLocalLLaMA•667 of OpenAI's 770 employees have threaten to quit. Microsoft says they all have jobs at Microsoft if they want them.linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoIf they brought all 770 of them over, and it cost the company 500k/yr per employee, they’d have 30 years of headroom on that 13b investment in OpenAI. But they get 100% of the IP for 50% of the price. And since OpenAI basically has to pay back that 13b anyways, and it’s all in compute credits, they won’t use if the company is defunct, lol… This would be a massive win for Microsoft, that same 13b they would have spent on OpenAI will go much, much farther and get them much much more now. linkfedilink
