I use ChatGPT as much as I use Google now. The latest news is the board is saying that Altman was not being "candid" with them about the technology. Whatever the **** that means. My guess would be they want to monetize it as much as possible without regards to safety concerns. He also publicly asked for Microsoft to invest more money.

I think they do have some sort of arrangement with Microsoft in ownership of the technology.
