alt Hacker NewsMicrosoft and OpenAI end their exclusive and revenue-sharing deal
Comments
sounds like divesting behind a bit of nice-sounding scaffolding
The AGI talk is shocking but not surprising to anyone looking at how bombastic Sam Altman's public statements are.
The circular economy section really is shocking- OpenAI committing to buying $250 Billion of Azure services, while MSFT's stake is clarified as $132 Billion in OpenAI. Same circular nonsense as NVIDIA and OpenAI passing the same hundred billion back and forth.
The jig is up!
Alright my theory:
OpenAI has public models that are pretty 'meh', better than Grok and China, but worse than Google and Anthropic. They still cost a ton to run because OpenAI offers them for free/at a loss.
However, these people are giving away their data, and Microsoft knows that data is going to be worthwhile. They just dont want to pay for the electricity for it.
Does this mean AGI has been reached according to their mutually agreeable definition?
I think aws will seize the opportunity.
Why are do I see bloomberg links so often when this shit won't even let you read article without sub ? Do you not have better reasons to spend money?
Looks like MS is shafting OpenAI.
"We want to sell surveillance services to the US gov. MSFT was hesitant so we gave ourselves room to do it without them."

Two evil walk away. Well, is that good or bad?
I fear for the end user we'll still see more open-microslop spam. I see that daily on youtube - tons of AI generated fakes, in particular with that addictive swipe-down design (ok ok, youtube is Google but Google is also big on the AI slop train).
It’s insane how they talk about AGI, like it was some scientifically qualifiable thing that is certain to happen any time now. When I have become the javelin Olympic Champion, I will buy a vegan ice cream to everyone with a HN account.

Impossible to take any of this seriously when it constantly refers to AGI.
