Microsoft preparing San Francisco offices for OpenAI employees, even as chaos lingers

It’s almost like MS had some kind of warning or, ya know, meetings with board members about payoffs to fire him.

Is this Lemmy’s version of reality TV? Seems to be all anyone is posting for the last 5 days.

This is soap opera for tech nerds.

Silicon Valley billionare darling at the head of the current hype machine getting tossed on his ass for ethics concerns, caught by other billionares before he hits the ground who see dollar signs and one of their own in need of some more hype and money. Billonares once again demonstrate they understand class warfare very well.

Remaining tech worker millionaires at old hype machine get endless offers to become double extra millionaires if they choose the new hype machine by leaving old one.

Will they? Wont they? Who will wear the crown next?

Even when they seize the opportunity to poach nearly half of their competitor, they still think they gotta prop up an office instead of letting them work from home. Hilarious.

Some people like the physical separation of home and their work. I imagine it’s more of a taunt to OpenAI though

What is even going on at this point.

Board Yeeted the CEO, most of the staff protested and threatened to quit, MSFT is looking to hire them all away in what can only be described as an unprecedented act of corporate piracy on the AI seas…

It was a rhetorical question, but thanks.

AI can’t be dangerous if it’s incompetently run by Microsoft. Taps forehead

Maybe they need the AI to tell them nobody likes offices anymore
