They fired the ceo and everyone went with him to microsoft. Microsoft's in control of all the compute resources to be delivered to openai, has access to all their tech and got the means to divert compute resources to this new "openai2.0" team that is now under full control of microsoft
Microsoft no longer needs the current "openai", it's gotta be 1 of the most stupid shit the board could've done
Also the delay that development from MS will have for a bit will also mean that Google has some time to catchup to where ChatGPT was when this all happened. It was claimed they were a year behind OpenAI tech so that is also a major blow against them as well. I don't expect MS to stop or to really be damaged by this news but it will enable Google to catch up a bit more. There's also a benefit in that since it means more competition on this area for consumers/companies.
I can't think of the last time google was relevant in the innovation conversation.
Ilya worked at Google Brain before starting OpenAI
