Since inclusion of ChatGPT in Bing Chat, I speculated that Microsoft was going to buy OpenAI at some point.
They’re probably going to degrade performance, focus on Microsoft partnership (Bing already has a well established web index), and then Microsoft outright buys it and locks it behind a subscription.
This makes sense for any other company but OpenAI is still technically a non profit in control of the OpenAI corporation, the part that is actually a business and can raise capital. Considering Altman claims literal trillions in wealth would be generated by future GPT versions, I don’t think OpenAI the non profit would ever sell the company part for a measly few billions.
