Microsoft: The Potential Winner

While it's uncertain if Sam Altman and Greg Brockman will join Microsoft or return to OpenAI, Microsoft emerges as a potential winner in the OpenAI fiasco. Microsoft's timely announcement on Twitter, indicating that Sam and Greg would be coming to Microsoft, helped stem potential losses. Even if an arrangement is reached for Sam and Greg to return to OpenAI, Microsoft is likely to have more control and influence. However, both scenarios still have drawbacks, either with a weakened OpenAI that needs to rebuild trust or with the startup team working at Microsoft, resulting in new platform risks.
