🔥 Dario Amodei accuses Sam Altman of lying about the Pentagon AI Deal 🔥
Dario Amodei unleashes scathing memo as ChatGPT uninstalls spike

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called OpenAI's messaging around its Pentagon deal "straight up lies" in a leaked internal memo. Amodei accused Sam Altman of "gaslighting" and dismissed OpenAI's contract protections as "safety theater," stating "they cared about placating employees, we actually cared about preventing abuses." The public sided with Anthropic—ChatGPT uninstalls jumped 295% after the OpenAI-DoD deal, while Anthropic rocketed to #2 in the App Store. Critics note both contracts allow AI use for "all lawful purposes," but laws can change.

💻 OpenAI building GitHub rival to cut Microsoft ties 💻
Move aims to reduce infrastructure dependence on key partner

OpenAI is quietly developing an alternative to Microsoft's GitHub for code hosting and collaboration, according to The Information. The move signals OpenAI's desire to reduce dependence on Microsoft's infrastructure despite their close partnership. GitHub currently dominates developer workflows with over 100 million users, making any challenge a massive undertaking. The timing is notable as OpenAI and Microsoft's relationship shows signs of strain, with OpenAI exploring ways to diversify its technology stack and reduce reliance on a single partner.

🏢 Block cuts 4,000 jobs with AI, stock jumps 24% 🏢
Dorsey follows Musk playbook with 50% workforce reduction

Jack Dorsey's Block slashed nearly half its workforce—over 4,000 employees—citing AI automation, and the stock soared 24% in after-hours trading. The move mirrors Elon Musk's 2022 Twitter takeover, when Musk cut 50% of staff in one stroke. Dorsey, who rolled his Twitter stake into Musk's X takeover, framed the cuts as proactive rather than reactive. CFO Amrita Ahuja said AI enables the company to "move faster with smaller, highly talented teams using AI to automate more work." U.S. employees receive 20 weeks salary plus tenure bonuses and $5,000 transition support.
