    But Microsoft does. And those shareholders would want to know why money that could be going to them is frittered away on a startup that is constitutionally set up to leave money on the table.

      I mean Microsoft invested in OpenAI back when they were still claiming to stay non-profit. There are ways such as just treating them as an exclusive subcontractor in order to keep your main business. Microsoft is not a chip company afterall but needs them to have product at prices people will pay.
