True, but that minority stake is 49%
Esqplorer@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Google will just buy 51% then, duh /s

Well that’s just straight up not true.
OpenAI owns ChatGPT. Microsoft is a partner, but not an owner.
huginn@feddit.it 11 months ago
49% ownership means they dictate what Open AI does. Don’t kid yourself.
kakes@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Sure, but to say Microsoft owns OpenAI is still disingenuous without that disclaimer.
huginn@feddit.it 11 months ago
It’s a distinction only legally.
At 49% ownership and being 100x the value of Open AI that is effectively the same as full control. Open AI cannot blink without Microsoft getting right of first refusal.

Are you being serious right now? Or am I getting wooshed?

He’s being serious: that’s exactly what Bing with Chat GPT replies.
Which further illustrates why LLMs are incredibly niche tools of limited utility… As someone who uses them in their job every day.

You think anyone being serious brings up Bing?
