OpenAI weighs "nuclear option" of antitrust complaint against Microsoft

More OpenAI news and yet more reason to think the executive team is desperate to cash out before their chickens come home to roost.

No matter what you might think of OpenAI's contributions to the AI industry, the investment dollars have clearly out-paced the tangible value and with no path to profitability available to them, I cant help but think that the executive team is looking to secure their share of investor dollars before the investors start to lose their money.

When you're going nuclear on an investor who owns 49% of your company, you're in trouble.

So OpenAI wants to fundamentally change the nature of their agreement with Microsoft. Microsoft says "well no, we have an agreement in black and white and if you want to change it you'll need to do it in terms favourable to us". OpenAI responds by throwing their toys out of the cot and trying to leverage the courts against MS with a bogus lawsuit.

Let's see how that works out for them.

Good luck trying to argue that azure is the dominant cloud platform.

Even better luck arguing that you partnered with them in good faith.

Could OpenAI be more two-faced? Even if M$ is violating anti-trust, why would be solution be to free OpenAI from the contract it willingly executed?
