Debunking the Microsoft/OpenAI/Google hype and over-reaction
4 by eclectic29 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Satya got lucky with OpenAI investment. Nothing smart. Now he’s acting like he foresaw OpenAI's potential and invested in the right place. I mean I’m happy the stock is rising but I know this is too early to say Microsoft won the AI wars and Google lost. Media is stupid and so are many techies who are overreacting. In fact even saying lucky is a bit too premature at this point. Obviously Google botched the demo and should’ve been a little proactive but it’s still no grounds to believe that it’s behind Microsoft in AI. Having said that it still doesn’t take away the fact that Satya is much more aggressive than the coasting Sundar. Sundar truly deserves to be demoted if not fired. Frankly we’re just like the ops division of OpenAI. We let them do research on our Azure clusters. Although I work at Microsoft I like to say it what it is. It’s a bit alarming for Satya to come out and say they made Google dance. People forget that it’s was the seminal transformer paper released by Google in 2017 that changed the NLP industry dramatically. It’s the core backbone of ChatGPT. I must say that I’m really happy to read all the positive sentiments about Microsoft which until yesterday was the football of even the shittiest companies out there.
