We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo.

We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.

It’s a non-profit. There are no investors.

Microsoft gave them some money in return for IP rights… and they will potentially one day get their money back (and more) if OpenAI is ever able to pay them, but they’re not real investors. The amount of money Microsoft might get back is limited.

Hah.

OpanAI, Inc. is non-profit. OpenAI Global is a for-profit entity, and has been for years now. They’re trying to have their cake and eat it, too.

Ok so Microsoft is giving out money now, instead of investing in profit potential? Cool!
