Microsoft Now Lists OpenAI as a Competitor in AI and Search (techcrunch.com) 11
An anonymous reader shares a report: Microsoft has a long and tangled history with OpenAI, having invested a reported $13 billion in the ChatGPT maker as part of a long term partnership. As part of the deal, Microsoft runs OpenAI's models across its enterprise and consumer products, and is OpenAI's exclusive cloud provider. However, the tech giant called the startup a "competitor" for the first time in an SEC filing on Tuesday.
In Microsoft's annual 10K, OpenAI joined long list of competitors in AI, alongside Anthropic, Amazon, and Meta. OpenAI was also listed alongside Google as a competitor to Microsoft in search, thanks to OpenAI's new SearchGPT feature announced last week. It's possible Microsoft is trying to change the narrative on its relationship with OpenAI in light of antitrust concerns -- the FTC is currently looking into the relationship, alongside similar cloud provider investments into AI startups.

Possible? POSSIBLE? It's perfectly transparent that is precisely what they are doing. Anyone who thinks differently is as stupid as Microsoft thinks they are.
The future of AI chatbots (Score:2)
Wouldn't be the first time Microsoft joined a company to subvert it from the inside. That and getting a look at their technology. To turn-up in the next version of ClippyAI. Regardless of the subject. I've noticed AI chatbot only ever returns the orthodox view. This filtering being some by employees of the company. So we're going to end up with the one set of facts with no access to alternative opinions.

Microsoft virtually OWNS OpenAI. It just pretends it doesn't so it doesn't get its ass Sherman'ed.
Just like my neighbor pretended to love his Russian bride until she got her citizenship and they divorced.
AGI? (Score:2)
The information sharing deal with Microsoft supposedly was good up to the point that OpenAI achieved AGI. Does this (supposed) change in the relationship between these two companies suggest OpenAI believes it has achieved AGI in their labs?
