This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I don't think msft convinced him with money, but rather opportunity. He clearly still wants to work with AI and 2nd best place for that after openAI is Microsoft
Second best would be Google, but for him it's Microsoft because he's probably getting a sweetheart deal as being in control of his destiny (not really, but at least for a short while)
Microsoft has access to a lot of OpenAI's code, weights etc. and he's already been working with them. It would be much better for him than to join some other company he has no experience with.
He's not the guy who writes code, he's a VC or management guy. You might say he has good ideas, as ChatGPT interface is attributed to him, but he didn't make it.
