Yep plain and simple. Everyone’s catching up to OpenAI and this is hardly any secret. MSFT team should know that they are second-stringers, but I’m sure they’ve been thinking much more of themselves.

I mean, I get why people would not like this but it is a value proposition. They think a random OpenAI employee is much more valuable than a some Microsoft employees. Hence, they’d rather boot specific Microsoft employees and hire OpenAI people instead.
