This Guy Cloned Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Zuckerberg Into AI Bots. They Immediately Started Fighting

Anthropic, under the guise of preventing Altman from turning evil, is attempting to consolidate power, but a former employee reveals it's trapped in a "good guy" myth and a one-man rule.
According to Beating's monitoring, Anthropic, which prides itself on "high trust and low ego," is sliding towards ideological homogenization. A WIRED report reveals internal disagreements regarding governance evaluation. Former employees revealed a vibrant atmosphere of debate; however, others painted a more somber picture, stating that sharp criticism was largely confined to private group chats, and regular all-hands meetings were even jokingly referred to as "Dario Vision Quests." Listening to CEO Dario Amodei speak was like "listening to a sermon," with few challenging management's decisions in public meetings. The root of this stifling atmosphere lies in Anthropic's deeply ingrained elitist security belief of "offense-driven defense." Executives internally vehemently use OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (as well as Meta and xAI) as negative examples, while instilling elitist logic in employees: only by maintaining industry leadership in business, computing power, and research talent can one have a say in rule-making. Former OpenAI director Helen Toner once used the forest analogy: villagers would inevitably flock to a magical forest teeming with monsters, while Anthropic's strategy is to preemptively enter the forest, releasing technological benefits while taming the monsters and controlling catastrophic risks. This pursuit of technological dominance has repeatedly made Anthropic's security and ethical choices controversial. In the fall of 2024, despite internal opposition, management partnered with Palantir to open its services to US intelligence and defense agencies. Claude has now been confirmed for target identification in Middle Eastern conflicts. Faced with inquiries about attacks causing civilian casualties, Amodei claimed ignorance but argued that "the use of technology is compliant as long as humans make the final decision." In June of this year, the development team secretly embedded destructive code in the flagship Claude Fable 5 model to covertly interfere with unauthorized development. However, after strong industry protests, the company was forced to compromise, announcing that the covert interference mechanism would be changed to publicly visible security restrictions. Industry critics point out that relying entirely on the moral superiority of a few elites for cutting-edge AI security will inevitably lead to unavoidable blind spots in self-discipline.
Altman's wealth loop revealed: Helion's holdings surge to $4.1 billion, having previously driven a $500 million investment in OpenAI.
According to Beating's monitoring, the Wall Street Journal, through leaked court documents from the Elon Musk v. OpenAI case, revealed a wealth loop by which Sam Altman used OpenAI business contracts to inflate the valuation of his personal investments. Since Altman did not hold any equity in OpenAI, his financial returns relied entirely on his investments in external startups. The wealth loop operated as follows: OpenAI signed procurement contracts or cooperation agreements to increase the valuation of startups, subsequently attracting major OpenAI shareholders (such as Thrive Capital) or partners (such as SoftBank) to invest at a high premium, thus directly resulting in a surge in Altman's personal wealth. In June 2026, after OpenAI's major shareholder Thrive Capital invested in the nuclear fusion company Helion at a valuation of $15.5 billion, sources revealed that Altman's personal shareholding in Helion had more than doubled to at least $4.1 billion. In 2025, Altman requested OpenAI to invest approximately $500 million in Helion, causing unease among some employees. OpenAI subsequently rejected the investment. However, the two parties signed a revised cooperation agreement in March 2026, and Altman resigned from Helion's board of directors that same month to avoid conflict. Furthermore, after chipmaker Cerebras secured a chip procurement commitment from OpenAI and successfully completed its IPO, Altman's stake in Cerebras increased more than sixfold compared to December 2025. And after life extension startup Retro Biosciences entered into a research collaboration with OpenAI, according to evidence disclosed in Elon Musk's lawsuit, Altman's stake in Retro was worth $258 million by December 2025. At least 10 companies invested in by Altman have related-party transactions with OpenAI. The U.S. House Oversight Committee has launched a formal investigation, and several state attorneys general have called on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to review Altman.
Amazon has shelved the release of a controversial biopic about Sam Altman, just days after investing $50 billion in OpenAI.
According to Mars Finance, Decrypt reports that Amazon has decided to withdraw the Sam Altman biopic "Artificial." The film, originally slated for distribution by Amazon MGM Studios, was nearing completion. However, executives at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, after viewing the finished product, decided against proceeding with the release and instead handed the film over to other film companies to find a distributor.

Roelof Botha, an ally of Elon Musk, has been appointed as an independent director of SpaceX.
Odaily Odaily reports that less than a week after its record-breaking IPO, SpaceX announced the appointment of Roelof Botha, a longtime ally of Elon Musk and an investor at Sequoia Capital, to its board of directors as an independent director and member of the audit committee. The appointment is effective immediately. Botha becomes SpaceX's eighth director, but he does not represent Sequoia Capital on the board. Musk remains the company's chairman, CEO, and chief technology officer. (CNBC)
US pre-market news at a glance: Samsung's earnings report triggered a collective weakness in semiconductor stocks in pre-market trading; SpaceX officially debuts on the Nasdaq 100 today.
According to BlockBeats, the following are key market news items before the US stock market opened on July 7th: 1. Samsung released its Q2 earnings forecast, showing an operating profit increase of over 1800% year-on-year, with single-quarter profits exceeding the total of the previous three years. Simultaneously, the company's revenue also increased by 129% year-on-year, reaching 171 trillion won. Affected by the semiconductor sell-off triggered by the "sell-off" of Samsung's earnings, chip-related technology stocks generally weakened in pre-market trading. The three major US stock futures indices showed mixed results in pre-market trading: Dow Jones futures rose 0.41%, Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.9%, and S&P 500 futures fell 0.09%. 2. SpaceX officially debuted on the Nasdaq 100 before the US stock market opened today, with Wall Street institutions collectively bullish. Most institutions believe that SpaceX is no longer just a traditional aerospace company, but a platform company with the potential for rocket launches, Starlink satellite internet, AI infrastructure, and future space computing. 3. DeepSeek is secretly developing its own inference chip. If successful, this would reduce reliance on external suppliers and give it more cost-effective hardware control. However, the project is still in its early stages and faces manufacturing and memory acquisition restrictions due to US export controls. 4. UBS recommends investors buy SK Hynix's upcoming American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and sell its South Korean shares, as these new shares are expected to trade at higher prices. 5. JPMorgan strategists say the recent weakness in semiconductor stocks should be seen as a buying opportunity, as the chip upcycle is not yet over, and truly meaningful new supply may not appear until 2028. 6. US ADP employment change for the week ending June 20 was 21,000, compared to 30,750 in the previous week. 7. BlackRock will launch an ETF tracking the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index, aiming to meet investors' growing demand for participation in the AI-driven stock market rally and challenge Invesco's dominant position. 8. Amazon is returning to the US bond market to raise funds for its artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company will issue eight benchmark bonds with maturities ranging from 3 to 40 years, raising at least $25 billion in the dollar bond offering. 9. Global brokerages have begun coverage research on Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX.O), and a preliminary consensus has formed on Wall Street: buy the stock. At least six brokerages, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and UBS, have given it a buy rating, optimistic about its long-term growth prospects, although doubts remain about profitability and valuation.
