Microsoft has wasted their opportunity.

When ChatGPT first came out, Satya and Microsoft were seen as visionaries for their wisdom in investing in Open AI. Then competitors caught up while Microsoft stood still. Their integration with ChatGPT produced poor results [1] reminding people of Tay [2]. Bing failed to capitalize on AI, while Proclarity showed what an AI-powered search engine should really look like. Copilot failed to live up to its promise. Then Claude.ai, Gemini 2.0 caught up with or exceeded ChatGPT, and Microsoft still doesn't have their own model.

Even with their failures Microsoft still has OpenAI over a barrel.

Access to their IP, and 20% of revenue (not profit).

Firing the antitrust cannon can deal with that.

Altman will absolutely attempt this.

Would love to see how that plays out. It’s a pretty absurd situation to eagerly sign the deal and take the funding and then when better deals start showing up turn around and try blow it up.
