Maybe this is for the best. The ones who are in for the money can go to MS, and the ones with a higher calling can stick with OpenAI and we'll see who wins.
I'm convinced an actual, true open approach (ideally open source) will win out, everyone thinks MS has executed a masterstroke, but more likely they've shot their load too early with LLMs only being a signpost on the way to higher-order AI (AGI is a ill-defined fantasy).
