Money, media, political footballs, lots and lots sure... but to actually solve the problem? Partisanship is an anti-pattern.

The amazing takeaway for me from this data driven story is that if you care to actually solve a problem in today's political climate the BEST thing you can do is to try and make it as non-partisan as possible. The WORST thing you can do if you're actually trying to solve a problem is to make it partisan or to inflame partisan divisions.

Partisanship as an anti-pattern in trying to actually solve problems.

The key part of the quote is this, "I don't want any customer of ours to be worried about it"

They acquired two of the founders least responsible for the actual tech. They made a huge bet on OpenAI to produce the tech and that relationship is going down the drain. Watch the market today, the next week, the next month, the next six months and that will tell you what I say: this is a disaster for MS and they damn well know it.

This makes it seem like all altruistic non-profit endeavors have never worked which is obviously not the case.

Undoubtedly they have a perpet on what they released so far: chatgpt4. Not so for new innovations or tech.

Driving the narrative doesn't mean driving reality. It is clear that Sam and friends are great at manipulating the media. But this is a disaster for Microsoft and the CEO damn well knows it. It is also a personal disaster for Altman and probably not a great move for those who choose to join him.

Time will tell if the OpenAI non-profit vision of creating safe AGI for the benefit of humanity can be revitalized, but it really does look like all involved are basically acknowledging that at best they were fooling themselves into believing they were doing something on behalf of humanity. Egos and profit seeking took over and right now the ethos which they championed looks to be dying.

LOL This is more of the Altman based media blitz to drive this in his favor. This is nothing short of an unmitigated DISASTER for Microsoft and they well know it.
