Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was key in OpenAI talks.

Well, this escalated quickly. So is this the end, or will the mods create an OpenAI megathread? ;)

'Twas a joke.

Do we know that for sure? What if the triggering event was secret dealings between Altman and Nadella?

I have no idea how likely that is, but the original messaging around Altman’s firing seemed to leave open the possibility that this was about conflicts of interest. The messaging since seems to have contradicted that, though, so who knows.
