???

You know Microsoft already owns chat gpt right?

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well that's just straight up not true.

OpenAI owns ChatGPT. Microsoft is a partner, but not an owner.

[–] huginn@feddit.it 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

49% ownership means they dictate what Open AI does. Don't kid yourself.

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but to say Microsoft owns OpenAI is still disingenuous without that disclaimer.

[–] huginn@feddit.it 1 points 10 months ago

It's a distinction only legally.

At 49% ownership and being 100x the value of Open AI that is effectively the same as full control. Open AI cannot blink without Microsoft getting right of first refusal.

They own a minority stake in the company

[–] jomoo99@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

True, but that minority stake is 49%

[–] Esqplorer@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Google will just buy 51% then, duh /s
