Most probably, the returned items just sit in the warehouse of the companies than selling to ordinary customers. Golden times for warehouse companies.
Microsoft never intended or assumed OpenAI will turnout like this great. It just did a small hedge of $1B to a promising tech and will very much like to takeover OpenAI if given a chance and they can afford all the lawyers needed to keep up with govt regulations.
Anthropic was able to create a comparable product to openai with out all the fuss that sam has created. I agree Sam might have had some significant contributions but they are not as much as it seem to be. I am sure OpenAI will keep on progressing as it does now with or without Sam.
He won the first time and lost the second time.
This company should be lead by research team not product team.
And SAM allowed all this under his nose. Making sure OpenAI is ripe for MSFT takeover. This is a back channel deal for takeover. What about the early donors who donated with humanity goal whose funding made it all possible?
I am not sure Sam has any contribution to the OpenAI Software but he gives the world an impression that he owns that and built the entire thing by himself and not giving any attribution to fellow founders.

Not bad to invest some extra time to get better performance.
You are falling to “Appeal to antiquity” fallacy if you think something old is better.
Suppose, I have $10Billion with me. Current price of stock is $1000. Ideally, I could buy 10million shares. Instead, I buy long dated call options to buy 50million shares at a price $1200 probably with $1Billion. And use rest $9Billion in open market to get 9million stock during a decent positive surprise of earnings release. The option writers will scramble to buy stocks in open market for even higher price to cover the options they have written.
