Subject:: MSFT hosting deal

I had the same reaction after reading that section and they've already agreed to drop. We had originally just wanted space cycles donated but the team wanted more certainty that capacity will be available. But I'll work with MSFT to make sure there are no strings attached

About this email

Altman says he had the same reaction, that Microsoft has agreed to drop the evangelism section, and that he will ensure there are no strings attached.

Notes

'space cycles' is as transcribed (apparently 'spare').
