    Wow that’s opaque. Full text:

    > OpenAI and Microsoft have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the next phase of our partnership. We are actively working to finalize contractual terms in a definitive agreement. Together, we remain focused on delivering the best AI tools for everyone, grounded in our shared commitment to safety.

    The most interesting thing about this statement is probably the fact that they felt it was neccesary to make such a statement.

    Is this some kind of investor-pressured reaction to the supposed Oracle deal? Not sure the exact nature of things but would think some ppl were getting some calls yesterday.

    What’s the point of making the statement? Avoiding legal or regulatory consequences for anti competitiveness or for the exploitation of tax free growth as a nonprofit?

    I asked the chatgpt box at the bottom of the screen for additional details, and I think it was lying to me.
