"The partnership remains strong" (As we hire all of your employees).
This is going to be fascinating to watch. You have to think all of the usual players are going to offer everyone at OpenAI crazy salaries to break from Microsoft, if for nothing else to disrupt them from taking over OpenAI for free and to sow chaos and "deal doubt" amongst the remaining. It is what I would do if I were Facebook or Google at least.
Meanwhile, at Microsoft, they had no raises this year because of "economic situations" or some such BS. So watching a bunch of folks get 2x raises doesn't sound like it is going to go down well. Not hard to imagine a lot of discontent with this from that angle as well.
Wow, I wonder how MS employees are feeling right now
I would think they feel great. Share price is going through the roof purely based on hype.
But they've been told no pay rise and yet are taking on all of OpenAI's team with no interview process
Microsoft's share price is almost exactly the same today as it was before any of the drama happened, while the S&P 500 is up half a percent.
We’re looking at different msft stocks then because msft is basically flat from 5 days ago.

No raises for everyone but they did give promotions out.
