Breaking: OpenAl, Anthropic, Google, and xAl just got sued for allegedly colluding to slow down Al development together
Here's what the lawsuit claims:
1. Dario Amodei's Sept 12 essay calling for coordinated Al deceleration is the smoking gun
2. Altman, Musk, and Hassabis all publicly responded in agreement the same day
3. A July 2026 joint statement from lab employees admitting 'competitive pressure not to unilaterally slow' is cited as proof coordination started months earlier
4. Plaintiffs say the deal violates the Sherman Act and want treble damages + a jury trial
