Anthropic CEO escalates AI industry feud over Pentagon deal. Dario Amodei accused Sam Altman of lying and gaslighting the public regarding OpenAI's classified government contract, calling it safety theater rather than genuine safeguards. Amodei claims OpenAI prioritized employee appeasement over preventing potential abuses. The dispute intensified after OpenAI announced its Pentagon partnership hours after Anthropic faced government blacklisting. Public reaction favored Anthropic, with ChatGPT uninstalls surging 295 percent while Claude downloads jumped 51 percent. Anthropic's Claude now ranks as the number one free app in multiple countries, capitalizing on user backlash. The company introduced features to facilitate switching from ChatGPT, including memory import capabilities available to free users.
