How much money and power would a gutted OpenAI have to devote to a protracted legal battle against Microsoft’s army of lawyers? It feels like robbing a man with cancer and hoping that they die before the case gets to the court, which feels very on brand with how Microsoft used to play things in early windows days.

What happens when a “gutted" firm has assets whose value cannot be realized except by an actor with greater resources and time window, but those actors do, in fact, exist?
