What's next for Microsoft and OpenAI; Amazon car sales; disappearing unicorns
About this episode
This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we assess the outcome of the drama at OpenAI, considering what the removal and ultimate return of its CEO Sam Altman, and everything that happened in between, means for Microsoft.
While Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella earned kudos for masterfully navigating the mess, the situation also showed how the company was vulnerable to being blindsided due to OpenAI's convoluted structure.
And while for-profit interests are likely to get more influence on OpenAI's reformulated board, it's not yet clear if Microsoft will end up with a seat on that board, leaving the ultimate outcome for Microsoft unclear, for now.
We also look at Amazon's move into car-buying, and examine the Seattle region's dwindling flock of unicorns.
With GeekWire co-founders Todd Bishop and John Cook.
