    Lol no.

    They aren’t going to extinguish OpenAI, they are going to use their tech for everything

      Extinguish isn't about snuffing the tech out, it's about pushing everyone else out of the market after you have extended it in a proprietary fashion and used your market dominance to create a defacto monopoly.

        That’d only work with proprietary tech.

        AI is pure math and that math is freely available. There are already many competitors with similar functionality and there isn’t much Microsoft can do to change that.

      No, they are going to sell the tech to others, microsoft doesnt know what to do with it. Extinguish doesn’t mean the thing no longer exists, it means that the entity openai, and it’s mission and what it was created for gets extinguished. And microsofts version of that geared towards shareholder value

      They’re going to extinguish the ability of others to use it to displace them

        That would mean having a monopoly on computation, which is never gonna happen.

  My speculation is that they paid Sutskever a lot of money to go away and keep his mouth shut
