šŸ­ Altman’s got a movie deal. No, seriously. šŸŽ„

While Hollywood calls, Anthropic cuts him off. Windsurf gets iced

Good morning. OpenAI CEO really thinks he’s the main character.

And as much coverage as he gets…. he might be.

Let’s dig in.

OpenAI
šŸŽ„ 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: 

šŸ­ Titled Artificial, from Amazon MGM Studios

šŸ­ Written by SNL alum Simon Rich

šŸ­ Filming may start this summer in SF + Italy

šŸ­ 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 ā€œMessiah Complex: The Miniseries.ā€

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: 

šŸ­ Windsurf now forced to rely on third-party compute

šŸ­ No first-party access to Claude 4 Sonnet or 3.7

šŸ­ Windsurf hit $100M ARR in April

šŸ­ Devs can still ā€œbring your own Claude keyā€ to use Windsurf

šŸ­ Anthropic: ā€œWe’re prioritizing sustainable partnershipsā€

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.

🧱 Invisible Infrastructure Wins

The Bite: The best builders don’t just deliver outputs.

They build systems no one sees—but everyone feels.

Snacks:

šŸ­ Smooth onboarding? That’s infrastructure.

šŸ­ Fewer questions from clients? That’s prep.

šŸ­ Fewer fires? That’s the moat you built weeks ago.

Being ready before the moment is what sets you apart.
