“Is Microsoft the tech powerhouse we really think it is? Or is it simply the sugar daddy of OpenAI?

What’s up? According to Todd McKinnon, CEO of identity security firm Okta, Microsoft is transferring the development of its top AI tools and software to OpenAI.

What does this mean? Microsoft has invested over $13 billion in OpenAI, positioning itself as a leader in foundational AI models and challenging Google’s dominance in internet search. However, Microsoft’s heavy reliance on OpenAI for AI advancements raises concerns that it has become more of a cash cow consult than a real driver of innovative technology.

Is this good for Google? On one hand, this move from Microsoft might benefit Google’s AI efforts, which originate from its own research and thus give it more direct and cohesive insights. On the other hand, this move might benefit Microsoft by making them less liable for mistakes in research and implementation, like those Google has faced with “woke Gemini image creation” and untrustworthy responses from AI Overviews.

“It’s so bizarre. Imagine working at Microsoft. OpenAI is over there making all the exciting stuff. It’s almost like Microsoft is going to turn into a consulting company.””
