    49% ownership means they dictate what Open AI does. Don’t kid yourself.

      Sure, but to say Microsoft owns OpenAI is still disingenuous without that disclaimer.

        It’s a distinction only legally.

        At 49% ownership and being 100x the value of Open AI that is effectively the same as full control. Open AI cannot blink without Microsoft getting right of first refusal.
