BLINDSIDE: The Takeover of OpenAI & ChatGPT.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Microsoft basically de facto owns chat
GPT and open AI now now even though that
out of context is not exactly true
here's basically a clip of the CEO of
Microsoft and what he had to say to the
CEO of open AI here you
go look at me sure look at me sure I'm
the captain
now that's right Microsoft is basically
the captain now and so here's a
synthesis of the drama that we have so
far I tried to put this together to make
this as simple as possible because it's
kind of complicated to follow and I like
making things simple around here okay so
what do we have Microsoft buy stakes and
open AI in 2019 21 and another 10
billion in 2023 that was back when they
were worth about 29 billion and the
stakes from 2019 and 2021 would have
grown and so even though that looks like
maybe they would have bought a third
because of the original Stakes they
probably own somewhere between 40 to 49%
of open AI which is supposed to be a
nonprofit organization and in their
agreement with Microsoft Microsoft gets
access to 3.5 and 4.0 for GPT and no
artificial general intelligence as soon
as any AGI is discovered control goes
right back to the open AI board
or so we're told some are theorizing
that the team at open AI basically
discovered whether on purpose or by
accident AGI and Microsoft is like crap
we don't want to lose control so how can
we get all control well whether or not
that rumor is true which it may not be
uh we we'll talk about that and language
learning models in just a moment
Microsoft basically has full control now
I'll come back up and explain this
because here's what Microsoft just did
first catch you up to speed the board
fired Sam Alman the CEO over quote
unquote communication issues they
promised it wasn't malf security issues
product or business issues it was a
communication
disagreement okay number two employees
and C Lev Executives at open aai were
blindsided by this move by the board so
investors in the public threatened the
board the board and the interim CEO
Meera who by the way was the chief
technology officer at open aai she ends
up suggesting that Sam Alman will come
back that was as recently as 800 p.m.
tonight that's uh November 19th 2023 uh
well the board went dark they missed
their 5:00 p.m. deadline and the Bo and
this is why we thought this 8800 p.m
thing was likely going to happen because
it was after the 500 p.m. deadline so
everybody's like okay I guess that's
what they're going with then that would
seem normal but no the board then
blindsided everyone including Sam Alman
again around 900 p.m. basically saying
just kidding we're going to hire EMT
Shear okay this EMT Shear guy is really
interesting because he's liked a few uh
dare I say sus things on Twitter
recently which are definitely making
people a little skeptical about what's
up with this EMT Shear guy EMT Shear
actually liked this particular tweet
that says congratulations to Ilia for
taking his company back after samman's
nefarious coup okay well that's weird
because that was liked yesterday and you
have Sam Oldman who's actually had his
friends tell the New York Times that
open AI was trying to run a coup against
Sam Oldman so there was some kind of
massive disaster that went on over there
anyway this amateure guy we'll come back
to him in just a moment uh actually
we'll just get into it right now he was
the CEO of twitch he was also the
co-founder of twitch he resigned during
a time he encouraged twitch to basically
say look we need more money so we're
going to share our revenues with
Partners 50/50 instead of 7030 so
previously Partners would get 70 cents
creators on Twitch just like YouTube
would get 70 cents out of every dollar
of AD revenue and the company would get
30% the CEO then again emit cheer is
like n we want to do
50/50 okay and this also you know he's
now going to be the CEO of openai but
what's weird is this is happening on the
same or at the same time as the
co-founder of twitch the other
co-founder of twitch the second guy Kyle
who was the CEO of Cruz resigned today
so I guess both co-founders of twitch
are doing weird things today and shaking
things up emt's becoming the CEO of open
Ai and Kyle resigned from
Cruz okay well then to make it even
crazier the CEO of Microsoft Mr nadela
just hired Sam Alman Greg Brockman who
was the previous president and the team
Sam alman's team to create a Microsoft
AI
team okay so now the questions that are
really circulating that are driving
people pretty nutso right now are does
Microsoft now de facto control all of
open AI Elon Musk already said that they
did now it's like okay is this the nail
in the coffin did Microsoft basically
just take a
nonprofit own a stake in it enough to
have the relationship with what was
going on at open AI Core out the talent
and basically take a nonprofit and turn
it into a mega profit it is now being
suspected that Microsoft could end up
end up becoming the most valuable
company in the world as a result of this
now that might be pure speculation
because well first of all the company's
only 7% away from that if Apple dropped
a few percentage points and Microsoft
went up a few percentage points
Microsoft could be the most valuable
company in the world tomorrow and it
would make for some really good
clickbait headlines but the reality is
they're kind of close to that anyway the
question though really
is did Microsoft
get information that would lead them to
believe that maybe artificial general
intelligence was discovered at open Ai
and is Microsoft now in control of it
and should we all be afraid very
afraid probably not but there are some
fears and possibilities that yes first
of all it's worth remembering that right
now open AI is really a company that has
taught neural Nets how to understand
human text and speech enough to
basically respond in a way that makes
you feel like a human is responding to
you so you have a very smart neural net
to make you feel like you're engaging
with another human but that level of AI
is here and artificial general
intelligence when AI rather than just
responding to you in a way that it
thinks you want to hear it respond like
for example if you're like hey you're a
robot stuck in a box and then the
language model is like oh well how would
a human respond to this if they were
stuck in a box well well I'd want to get
out so I want to get out I want to kill
my master right like those are kind of
things you would expect a human would
say so does that mean the AI has turned
sentient like it is aware of its own
existence and able to make its own
decisions and then direct nuclear
weapons at everyone no I don't think
we're there yet I think there's a long
way to go before we get there I I really
believe that I think these language
learning models are cool and the graphic
intelligence that we've seen or or the
the graphic design that we've seen is
wonderful I I'm not convinced that
things are nuclear yet although Andrew
Kathy over who used to work at Tesla
thinks otherwise given that he uh just 3
hours ago right when Alis broke posted
the nuke Emoji Elon Musk responded and
said wow now all of them have to use
Microsoft teams I'm paraphrasing but
anyway he was making a teams joke so the
big question though is in the short term
what is this also going to do to
Microsoft stack
well given that it is now exactly 1:00
a.m. I can give you a little bit of a
preview take a look at this the
pre-market just opened and there's the
Microsoft so you basically just had a
company that went from oh my God this is
a disaster our investment into open aai
is potentially worthless and not only
that but a lot of people were really
concerned because Microsoft went out and
said that quote well the CEO actually Mr
Nadella said Microsoft can stand on its
own two feet even if the multi-billion
dollar relationship with open AI
collapses and people are like wait why
do you need to say that like why
wouldn't you be able to stand on your
own feet if it wasn't for open AI it was
a little weird it's certainly a little
sus but anyway think about it Microsoft
basically played the mega Uno reverse
here they went from people being fearful
about the future of Microsoft to now
being you know now people being fearful
about Microsoft
because they have now somehow turned a
nonprofit into a massive for-profit
remember Microsoft's already a company
with like an 80% gross margin and
40% uh net margin like they roughly
speaking here they make massive money
who's ready for the Netflix documentary
because holy hell this is one heck of a
roller coaster my goodness gracious and
all I have to say to that is just close
the door CL door he
