Now they have the team, the chip, the cloud and the IP.
They own openai's ip?
Here is a comment I copied from Hacker News:
If they join Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft they will not need to start from scratch because Microsoft has full rights [1] to ChatGPT IP. They can just fork ChatGPT.
Also keep in mind that Microsoft hasn't actually given OpenAI $13 Billion because much of that is in the form of Azure credits.
So this could end up being the cheapest acquisition for Microsoft: They get a $90 Billion company for peanuts.

Damn, all that because of the board. I reaaally want to know what actually drove them to fire Altman. I don't think it was worth it but heh
Thanks!
I sense lawsuits in openai's future.
