Overview
- In a viral interview, Sam Altman said Slack creates “a lot of fake work” and predicted AI agents could supplant tools like Google Docs, email, and Slides.
- Altman separately posted that OpenAI is exploring ways to sell compute capacity, signaling a potential “AI cloud” offering rather than a launched product.
- Elon Musk responded on X that OpenAI will compete directly with Microsoft and called continued Microsoft support for OpenAI “insanely suicidal.”
- Microsoft has invested about $11.6 billion in OpenAI and holds a stake valued around $135 billion, even as the company develops its own models for Copilot.
- The partnership increasingly overlaps with competition, as Microsoft has named OpenAI a rival and OpenAI executives have warned of cloud providers learning from its advances.
