OpenAI
🎥 OpenAI Drama: Now a Movie (soon)

The Bite: The OpenAI boardroom meltdown of 2023 is being turned into a movie.

Amazon MGM is producing Artificial.

A dramatization of the five-day saga where Sam Altman was fired, publicly roasted, and then reinstalled as CEO like it was all a software rollback.

Luca Guadagnino is in talks to direct.
Andrew Garfield may play Altman.

Yes. That Altman.
In a movie.
Played by Spider-Man.


Snacks: 

🍭 Titled Artificial, from Amazon MGM Studios

🍭 Written by SNL alum Simon Rich

🍭 Filming may start this summer in SF + Italy

🍭 Producers include David Heyman (Barbie, Harry Potter)

Why it bites: Sam Altman says he’s here to build safe, democratic AI for humanity.

But this week?

He’s dropping an autobiography and getting a movie made about himself — in the same breath.

It’s giving “Messiah Complex: The Miniseries.”

Forget AGI safety for a second.

The real alignment problem might be between Altman’s public humility and private ego.

You don’t greenlight a Hollywood biopic two years after your board revolt unless you think your life is the main character arc of the AI era.

When actions speak louder than keynotes, this feels less like stewardship… and more like self-mythology.

Anthropic
🧊 Anthropic Iced Windsurf

The Bite: Anthropic just quietly choked access to Claude for Windsurf — the AI coding startup that’s recently been acquired by OpenAI.

Windsurf’s CEO says the company received short notice, limited capacity, and no direct access to Claude 4.

Meanwhile, rival tools like Cursor and Devin got the VIP keys on launch day.


Snacks: 

🍭 Windsurf now forced to rely on third-party compute

🍭 No first-party access to Claude 4 Sonnet or 3.7

🍭 Windsurf hit $100M ARR in April

🍭 Devs can still “bring your own Claude key” to use Windsurf

🍭 Anthropic: “We’re prioritizing sustainable partnerships”

Why it bites: Anthropic didn’t kill Windsurf — it just made it expensive, inconvenient, and slightly humiliating to keep growing.

This is what happens when AI companies build walled gardens around their models while pretending it’s all open and dev-friendly.

Windsurf getting iced right after the OpenAI acquisition?

That’s not an accident.
It’s ecosystem fencing with a smile.
