OpenAI's Altman takes jabs at Anthropic, says government should be more powerful than companies

This article covers a public dispute between AI company leaders Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) regarding government power and company influence, along with a conflict between Anthropic and the U.S. Department of Defense that resulted in the Pentagon blacklisting Anthropic's AI models and directing federal agencies to stop using them. OpenAI subsequently announced its own agreement with the Department of Defense, which drew criticism for appearing opportunistic, though Altman stated the company intended to de-escalate the situation.
