Why is it called an investment? Is OpenAI a corporation that plans to pay out dividends? I thought it's more of a non-profit. This deal looks more like a donation of cloud compute resources. Still a great idea (moves ML research closer to their platform, eating more of Google's lunch), but it's not an investment in OpenAI.
Yeah but how's the return exactly going to come about (dividends? merger and talent takeover?), that's the question. I can see it returning itself via better ML sales on Azure.
