OpenAI shot themselves in the legs with a 12-gauge shotgun when they fired Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.

Expect Microsoft Copilot to eclipse ChatGPT.

They were right, he never opened the technology.

The Board though is unlikely to face any personal consequences though. 3 out of the 4 of them are CEOs of their own companies, with the fourth being OpenAI's chief scientist.

Regardless, this move will very much tank OpenAI since now the advantage is in Microsoft's court.

I see this a lot, but two people, especially those not doing the work, do not make a company. They started something great, but hundreds of talented people have been driving the ship for a long time now.

Which way did the scientist vote?

The scientist was the ringleader around the effort of ousting Altman, apparently.

Doubt it very much. Alt-man is just a grifter and the limits have been reached for the word predictor. The only thing Microsoft has been doing is hype and pissing off customers with it.
