Watch them flat out buy OpenAI then just reinstate these guys.

If OpenAI wanted to sell out, they wouldn't have fired Altman

As much as I'd love to see them back in OpenAI, I don't think Emmett Shear will give up.

I have a soft spot for Greg since he was the one who introduced the world to GPT 4 on that developer livestream

They’re only 2% short of being able to do that. I think Microsoft has a 49% stake.

Sam has to own at least a percent or two. Even if he doesn't bring enough shares to the table to give Microsoft the edge they need, I'm guessing he's friendly enough with a few shareholders to get them the rest of the way.

I think Sam famously has had a 0% stake

Huh, that's interesting. But I still assume he must have a good enough relationship with enough investors to convince at least 2% of shareholders to back Microsoft if they were partnering with him on a resolution.
