Altman already has.

I'm sure MS would love to grab a few more.

Dude, it literally says that right in the letter...

Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAl employees at this new subsidiary should we choose to join.

Did you not even read it?

You think people read things before forming emotionally charged responses to them?

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

No. Did you? I was replying to every parent comment above mine.

"about to be out of a job"
"will be hired by Google, Microsoft and other companies within minutes."
"I'm sure MS would love to grab a few more."

All seemed to ignore the context quoted from the letter and may as well have been responding solely based on the headline alone. The employees clearly stated they already have an active offer in place.
