“Stake in OpenAI doesn’t return profit”

And I don’t see how it could. Sell copilot at a loss, which consumes ChatGPT (sold at a loss) which runs on Azure (exchanged at below cost for stock in OpenAI).

I’m sure we’ll see a bloodbath in the coming years as it all falls apart, and then the big companies like Microsoft and Google will vacuum up the pieces for themselves.

  I’m not sure where it will land. MS and Google are funding a lot of it so they stand to lose a lot of money.

    They’re going to use that as the leverage they need to get a good deal on it. Usually these types of investment arrangements give first rights of refusal when looting the corpse.
    
    It’s already calculated, in my opinion.
