The Decade-Long Feud Between Sam Altman and Dario Amodei
The Wall Street Journal reports a roughly decade-long feud between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, rooted in disagreements over AI safety and business direction. The conflict dates back to 2016, when Amodei and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman argued over how to communicate AI development. It deepened after Amodei left OpenAI in 2020 and founded Anthropic, and recently resurfaced over competing Department of Defense contracts.
