If they go belly up, Microsoft will just absorb them no?
Microsoft owns most of the upside of OpenAI already. Everything they've invested so far is recoupable as 20% of future profits, and much of what was invested was in the form of Azure credits. They have a perpetual license to any OpenAI technology developed to date and in the future until they achieve AGI.
I don't see why they'd want OpenAI. What they really want is a bunch of other suckers to come in and keep financing it so they can profit from the previous deal.
