Yes, this. Microsoft has other businesses that can make a lot of money (regular Azure) and tons of cash flow. The fact that they are pulling back from the market leader (OpenAI) whom they mostly owned should be all the negative signal people need: AGI is not close and there is no real moat even for OpenAI.
- whynotminot 1y agoWell, there’s clauses in their relationship with OpenAI that sever the relationship when AGI is reached. So it’s actually not in Microsoft’s interests for OpenAI to get there
- PessimalDecimal 1y agoI haven't heard of this. Can you provide a reference? I'd love to see how they even define AGI crisply enough for a contract.

Seems to be about this: > As per the current terms, when OpenAI creates AGI - defined as a "highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work" - Microsoft's access to such a technology would be void. https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-seeks-unlock-investment-by-ditching-agi-clause-with-microsoft-ft-reports-2024-12-06/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-seeks-unlock-inves...
