    I don’t think it will ultimately be good for the world for MS to gain the amount of market power that is up for grabs in the AI land rush. I have the sinking suspicion that the odds that Sam Altman will be a footnote in history just went way up, and the chances that it’ll be a positive footnote went down.

      This seems like the most accurate speculation I’ve seen yet. Sam’s got a lot of buddies over at Microsoft as they’ve been working with OpenAI for some time now
