Ever wondered if the tech giants in the AI world are really as chummy as they seem? Well, the New York Times has revealed that things aren't all sunshine and roses between OpenAI and Microsoft. The problem? OpenAI needs more money and computing power, and Microsoft isn't delivering fast enough. Plus, they're clashing over some rules.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. There's a secret clause in their contract. If OpenAI creates super-intelligent AI (AGI), Microsoft might lose access to that tech. Think of it as an insurance policy to keep Microsoft from misusing the tech. But wait, there's more. Who decides when AGI actually arrives? The board of OpenAI, that's who. And Sam Altman, the big boss at OpenAI, believes this will happen gradually, making it tough to pinpoint exactly when smart AI becomes super-smart AI. That's the big question mark hanging over this whole situation.
