Microsoft and OpenAI have a relationship so convoluted, even a season finale of a reality show wouldn’t come close. Investors are left scratching their heads as to what’s really going on behind the big corporate curtain. In its latest annual report, Microsoft decided to play hide-and-seek with details about its multi-billion dollar investment in OpenAI, tucking losses into a neat little expense line under ‘other, net’ like it’s no big deal.
And that’s just the icing on the cake! The tech giant feels like the superhero in a movie that refuses to reveal its true identity. How can we trust them if they’re this mysterious? At the end of the day, transparency in these dealings is more crucial than ever—after all, isn’t open communication what got us into trouble with our high school crushes?
So what’s the takeaway here? If Microsoft wants us to think it’s a team player with OpenAI, it should probably share a few more details about what’s happening behind the scenes. Otherwise, we might start to believe the tech scene is just one big smoke and mirrors show.
