OpenAI is a Microsoft play to get into power generation business, specifically nuclear, which is a pet interest of Bill Gates for many years.

There, that's my conspiracy theory quota for 2024 in one comment.



I don't think Gates has much influence on Microsoft these days.


He controls approximately 1% of the voting shares of MSFT.


And I would argue his "soft power" is greatly diminished as well


It's kinda cool as a conspiracy theory. It's just reasonable enough if you don't know any of the specifics. And the incentives mostly make sense, if you don't look too closely.
