Microsoft poach Sam Altman and other OpenAI colleagues to form its own AI Research team

So, in the middle of all the OpenAI drama, Microsoft just pulled off a surprise move and snatched up Sam Altman and Greg Brockman after OpenAI said Altman wasn’t coming back. Microsoft’s big boss, Satya Nadella, spilled the beans on X, saying that Altman, Brockman, and their crew are set to lead a cool new AI research team at Microsoft. Nadella threw in the usual corporate talk about staying committed to the OpenAI partnership, but let’s be real – this hiring spree is shaking things up.
