    Every new development seems to point at an internal power struggle that Altman and Microsoft manipulated and won. Now, we all will pay the price. Microsoft does nothing out of the goodness of its heart, only its bottom line.

      The whole shake up seemed to be caused by whatever their latest development was. Like, no matter the cost, sort of levels of craziness. Sort of surprised no one ended up dead.

      I doubt it’s true AI, but if they are acting like this, it has to be leaps and bounds more powerful than GPT4, and that should be pretty fucking scary.

        na, the whole shakeup was because microsoft wanted to be majority shareowner and the board was against it.
