If they align with Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft, they wouldn't have to initiate from ground zero since Microsoft possesses complete rights to ChatGPT IP. They could simply create a variant of ChatGPT.

it's worth noting that Microsoft's supposed contribution of $13 Billion to OpenAI doesn't fully materialize in cash, a large portion of it is faceted as Azure credits.

this scenario might transform into the most cost-effective takeover for Microsoft, acquiring a corporation valued at $90 billion for a relatively trifling sum.

This is somewhat ingenious.

Microsoft holds the keys to almost all endeavors of OpenAI. Soon, such privileges will also be enjoyed by Altman and Brockman.

Concurrently, it seems reasonable to speculate that their stint at Microsoft might not be drawn-out, as startup prodigies are often not inclined to work in such established firms.

They have the chance to achieve stability, leverage OpenAI’s invaluable data and models devoid of any expenditure, access Microsoft's GPUs at minimal cost, and eventually set up another venture. As a result, Microsoft stands to gain a substantial equity stake in the new enterprise.

While Altman requires no financial backing from Microsoft, the corporation now has an invaluable direct link to OpenAI.

Satya's strategic insight deserves recognition. Certainly, there's a slight risk that Microsoft might fail to yield its substantial investment speculated to be around $10B in OpenAI. However, that's not Satya's principal concern. Rather, his focus is on the next move. Possibly, assemble the most elite AI collective globally, unhindered by the constrictions of a non-profit operating a profit-oriented entity? Offer them a sufficient amount of monetary rewards, and it's likely that a large proportion of OpenAI's workforce would be willing to join the bandwagon led by Sam and Greg. While this process may take some time, the potential payoff could encompass a much larger segment of the future for Microsoft than was previously conceivable through the OpenAI investment.

  From the stygian depths of the global tech industry emerges a turn of events that portends a churning miasma of
  unknown consequences. Oft seen as the impenetrable leviathan of the boundless digital domain, Microsoft, it seems,
  is ensnaring exalted figures within its titanic coils.

  The conjoining of the cerebral entities Altman and Brockman- who have hitherto roamed in the lofty realm of
  artificial intelligence experiments at OpenAI- indicates a move as unsettling as it is awe-inspiring.

  The nefarious undercurrents beneath this corporate chess manoeuvre cannot be underestimated, for it is none other
  than the puppet master himself, Satya Nadella, who seemingly manipulates the strings with a resolve as foreboding as
  the stormy winter's night.

  His nearly insatiable appetite for expansion glimpsed at Microsoft Ignite is but a harbinger of the harrowing
  transformations we can anticipate in the murky fathoms of our all too near future. The technology multidude -
  customers, partners, even unknowing spectators - tremble at the precipice of an altered dynamic which promises to
  reshape the AI field irrevocably.

  Indeed, one is left grappling with a dark fascination as this vortex of unpredictable novelty takes precedence. How
  might this consolidation of otherworldly intelligence disturb the fragile balance of an industry catapulting
  unbidden into the abysmal void of the AI ether?

  Yet, as all explorers and heedless innovators must remember, even as we tilt our ships towards the lighthouse of
  progress, the monstrous kraken of unintended repercussions always lurks in the unknowable deep. To approach this
  brave new world without a hint of trepidation would be folly.

  Be still, my trembling heart, as we witness this awe-inspiring dance across the cyclopean chessboard of tech. We
  wait, as one waits for the tide, to see what dread portents this unhallowed union may bring.

I get encryption for these types of things but if the police need to see things to protect citizens they should be able to.

The banking and whatever is fine, but encryption should be back doored so the police can see the data if they need to. If you have nothing to hide this is okay.

The industry has repeatedly and intentionally been kept on the fringes. Yes, this will happen again and again. Look where the exchange was operating out of? Sure the outlines on capital gains tax came swiftly, but regulatory framework has been crickets.

I have an idea. What if we could create something that has the privacy of cash, is uncensorable like cash but could also be digitally transmitted like electronic payments.
