I thought the decision was made that Sam, Greg, etc are going to Microsoft. Isn't that what was part of Satya Nadella's announcement.


It was, and that’s true. Until tomorrow’s announcement that the OpenAI board is resigning and Sam is coming back to OpenAI. Or until tomorrow’s announcement that the OpenAI board is selling to Microsoft because all of their employees are leaving. Or until tomorrow’s announcement that Elon Musk is acquiring OpenAI and making himself CEO, and then for some weird reason nobody understands Sam decides to go back to OpenAI but not Greg, or vice-versa.

We still don’t know what the outcome of the whole OpenAI strike thing is yet, and people like Ilya Sutskever keep doing things that nobody would’ve expected 24 hours previous. I would argue that it seems more likely than not that there are further strange and unpredictable events that haven’t happened yet this week.
