Comment on OpenAI brings Sam Altman back as CEO less than a week after he was fired by board
Iceblade02@lemmy.world 11 months agoThe “Private investor” in this case is Microsoft, which “graciously” offered to bring all the staff into their own new AI project. This is 100% an investor (a.k.a microsoft) win.

Well, kind of. It’s a bad look for MS to be so heavily invested in such a dumpster fire of a corporation, so it’s okay for them it got resolved, but they would have won out more if Altman had joined them. It was the other investors, including a number of employees, who would have really lost out if the company had just collapsed in on itself like it immediately started doing.
So, sure, investor win. But MS more or less lost this one.
