> Mr. Nadella said Microsoft would not necessarily invest that billion dollars all at once. It could be doled out over the course of a decade or more. Microsoft is investing dollars that will be fed back into its own business, as OpenAI purchases computing power from the software giant, and the collaboration between the two companies could yield a wide array of technologies.

The NYT article is misleading here. We'll definitely spend the $1B within 5 years, and maybe much faster.
We certainly do plan to be a big Azure customer though!
excited about the announcement.
That's great, one question where can I use GYM or universe in the cloud with the render() option.
I've spend many hours trying to set up the environment in cloud [1] without success.

From the article:
> The most obvious way to cover costs is to build a product, but that would mean changing our focus. Instead, we intend to license some of our pre-AGI technologies, with Microsoft becoming our preferred partner for commercializing them.
Talent will be the hardest challenge for OpenAI in order to reach their goals.
Will they fight?
Azure AI layers and say private company AIs like FBs (Ono Sendai), GCP, AWS, etc... where these AIs start learning how to protect themselves from attack....
Obv it super trivial for API mods to the FW/Access rules in all these systems... so it will be trvial for them to start shutting down access (we have had this for decades, but it will be interesting to see it at scale.)
Can you do an AI CTF like the Stripe distributed systems CTF sometime?
Since you work for OpenAi, are you looking at actual brain processes at all? I read the article and understand you guys will be a big customer with Azure, I wonder if you guys will be conducting some brain research though. I believe for AGI to happen we need to understand the brain.
I work with Cerebral Organoids, Consciousness studies, physics (quantum),
Love to share / connect, we are currently launching the Cerebral Organoids into space today! SpaceX rocket, 6pm EST, there are some thunderstorms so we're hoping there aren't any further delays. DM me?
