OpenAI @sama is pretty fucked right about now 

> lost half of their top talent over the past two weeks 
> basically all of their leadership over the past two years
> sama told microsoft can’t get access to windsurf’s IP 
> microsoft paused negotiations with @sama
> openai doesn’t have $$$ to fund the $X billion acquisition anymore 
> windsurf employees thought they were going to get a bag joining openai 
> windsurf CEO backed out if the deal
> windsurfs core talent got poached by google instead 
> Grok X better than expected 
> gpt-5 delayed
> only way oai can stay relevant is to release open-source model now 
> but already mogged pre-release by chinese models 
> openai valuation in private equity been dropping past few weeks 
> softbank masa $XX billion investment paused 
> oai for-profit conversation deadline: X months left 

OpenAI is a ticking bomb…
