Satya Nadella's statement on OpenAI's importance ignites debate on social media

Zak Kukoff, who claims to be an investor, shared a screenshot showing Mircosoft CEO Satya Nadella saying that it wouldn’t matter if OpenAI disappeared tomorrow, as they have all the IP rights and capabilities. Nadella did say these words in an interview about the swift and brief departure of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Microsoft had recruited Altman after this episode; eventually, Altman ended up going back to OpenAI.
