Does this mean Microsoft isn't going to sue their customers for patent infringement?


Microsoft's stake in OpenAI doesn't seem to be publicly known.

> Exactly what terms Microsoft and OpenAI have agreed on with this $1 billion investment isn’t clear.

Why would you say this?


I presume it's reference to OpenAI's patent pledge:

> Researchers will be strongly encouraged to publish their work, whether as papers, blog posts, or code, and our patents (if any) will be shared with the world.

I'm not sure if it's ever been publicly elaborated on.

Still seems like a low effort, bad hot-take.
