Really?

Microsoft, which has invested billions in OpenAI, learned that OpenAI was ousting CEO Sam Altman just a minute before the news was shared with the world

    You replied as I was editing my previous comment.

    They don't support that statement in any way. It's not even attributed to anyone at MS. Where did it come from?

    I’m familiar with the situation, was it me that said it? Because if so I would like it retracted. That attribution may as well be “according to my friend’s dad, who works at Microsoft”.
