OpenAI came after our domain because we use GPT in it
I think Elon said something interesting about OpenAI in an interview he gave yesterday which I didn't perviously understand – as part of their deal with Microsoft Microsoft have right to all of OpenAI's model weights. This means at any time Microsoft has the right to take their models and cut off OpenAI's funding.<p>I would seem OpenAI now have very little autonomy as a company. Since any IP they currently have can be taken by Microsoft there's very little incentive for other companies to invest. And since OpenAI isn't profitable they are now 100% dependent on Microsoft to continue operating.<p>I think we may as well consider OpenAI a Microsoft acquisition since this appears to more accurately describe the relationship here.<p>Perhaps Sam Altman was just too stupid to understand this, but I suspect that isn't the case. It seems he probably knew OpenAI would effectively become a Microsoft research project as part of their deal, and therefore we should probably assume that they will operate with for-profit incentives – and with those of Microsoft's more specifically.<p>I guess what I'm saying is that this doesn't surprise me, and I'd expect more of this to come.
