AI CEOs Throw More Shade Than a High School Cafeteria Fight
KEY POINTS
- •Anthropic promoted its ad-free AI Claude during the Super Bowl while mocking OpenAI's ChatGPT for testing ads.
- •Sam Altman shot back on X with a lengthy post calling Anthropic's ad dishonest and faced a stalled $100 billion Nvidia deal.
- •Elon Musk sued Altman over OpenAI's shift from a non-profit model and monopoly allegations, intensifying their public feud.
In a spectacle worthy of a suburban soap opera, Anthropic decided to keep its AI Claude ad-free but still threw shade at OpenAI’s ChatGPT for testing ads during the Super Bowl. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman responded with a 420-word post on X calling the ad 'dishonest,' while also dodging rumors about Nvidia reportedly chilling on a $100 billion chip investment deal. Adding to the circus, Elon Musk, brother-in-law turned nemesis, is suing Altman over abandoning OpenAI’s original non-profit roots and alleged market monopoly, doubling down as they publicly throw verbal punches. Meanwhile, industry expert Gil Luria scored this feud as "high school-level behavior," confirming the playground rumors.
