OpenAI's relationship with Microsoft may be fraying due to financial pressures and disagreements over computing resources. A New York Times report highlights a controversial clause in their contract that could cut off Microsoft’s access to OpenAI’s technology if it achieves artificial general intelligence (AGI). This clause aims to prevent potential misuse of AGI by Microsoft, but the determination of when AGI is reached is subjective, as stated by CEO Sam Altman. The dynamics between the two companies are evolving, indicating a complex future for their partnership.
