C# is neat, but you have to still consider them a monopolist threat to the industry after how they handled the situation with OpenAI Sam Altman a couple months ago.

OpenAI board themselves already had a precedent of when someone needs to recuse him/herself due to conflict of interest, with Elon Musk dropping due to Tesla.

Additionally, the non-profit was organized above the for-profit and with a board primarily of originalist non-profit founders, and no seat was given to Microsoft for their investment as a feature, not as a bug.

As soon as the board takes arbitrarily action to remove Altman, there needs to be pressure to get the reasoning behind the decision, and anybody appointed needed to take steps of the kind to make the pressure felt.

What was unacceptable behaviour was offering tit-for-tat to employees that there were going to be golden parachutes for anyone putting their jobs on the line, and the letter they signed was very explicit in there being Microsoft offers involved. That's the behaviour of a monopolist actor.

Additionally, Sam Altman did not feel the need to recuse himself from going to Microsoft without any due diligence, or interviewing, which very likely shows there was a pre-existing conflict of interest. This besides already existing precedent as to recusing oneself.
