    The buried lede here is we could’ve had four major players in the GPU space, if it weren’t for those meddling board members. This fourth one surely would’ve been built with compute in mind from the ground up, which might have finally put out a real competitor to CUDA.

      Barriers to entry are a high bar. $Bs in VC capital has flown into that exact space over the last 5-8 years, and there are a bunch of dead startups in the wake. Altman’s resources are no different than any of those others.

    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
