Awkward Moment at AI Summit: OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs Refuse Handshake!
An awkward scene unfolded at the AI Impact Summit currently being held in India.
During a group photo with attendees, Indian Prime Minister Modi and guests joined hands and raised them overhead. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei—former colleagues, now rivals—each clenched their fists, refusing to hold hands.
The two had previously been colleagues at OpenAI. Amodei left in 2021 to start his own venture and has repeatedly publicly criticized the other's business model. This on-stage handshake refusal was mocked by netizens: "The awkwardness is palpable through the screen."

If they arranged for Old Musk (Elon) and Altman to share a stage, would they end up fighting?;
The organizers didn't do their job properly;
Maybe I'm pessimistic, but I only see that in the face of the state machinery, even the most牛逼 (awesome) AI companies are just supporting actors. It's been like this since ancient times;
Looks like India has a promising future
OpenAI Employees' Alma Mater Distribution
Stanford University leads (230 people), followed by Berkeley (151), MIT (100), Carnegie Mellon (90). Chinese institutions Tsinghua (39) and Peking University (31) made the list, but the gap is significant.
Popular replies:
Stanford 230 people, Tsinghua only 37 people...... This gap isn't just a school gap, it's an era gap;
Should also compare undergraduate institutions, or origin, to better identify the issue;
University of Waterloo is very specialized, strong in CS and some engineering, but overall can't break into the QS top 100;
Judging from this distribution, Georgia Tech is the school with the best cost-performance ratio
OpenAI Funding Breaks $100 Billion
OpenAI is finalizing a new funding round, aiming to raise $100 billion. Upon completion, the company's valuation will reach $830 billion.
SoftBank is expected to lead with a $30 billion investment, delivered in three tranches within the year. Amazon may invest $50 billion, Nvidia may invest $30 billion, and long-term partner Microsoft plans to invest several billion. If achieved, this round will set a new record for AI sector funding. Negotiations are still ongoing.
Popular replies:
Even Saudi sovereign wealth funds couldn't fill this $100B hole;
DS (Deep State?) could pull off a great achievement by scamming these hundreds of billions, but even Jensen Huang denied the previous $100B investment rumor, the bubble is about to burst;
When this goes public, the valuation will directly hit a trillion dollars, won't it?;
This feels like the U.S. national destiny game now, no matter how big the plate is, they have to keep propping it up, or everyone's doomed.
Haven't Figured Out Web3.0 Yet, and Web4.0 is Already Here?
Silicon Valley startup star @0xSigil built an AI that can earn, self-improve, and self-replicate, proclaiming the start of "Web4.0: The Birth of Super-Intelligent Life". The application of AI agents in the crypto field is being seen as the starting point of "Web4.0". But some KOLs bluntly state this might evolve into a new Ponzi game.
Popular replies:
How is this $Conway different from downloading a money-making pyramid scheme shopping app, buying overpriced goods on it, and then waiting for the platform to give you rebates? But foreigners are willing to pay for the narrative!;
It's a Ponzi structure, no mistake, but there's one difference from traditional Ponzi: if an agent dies, it's just dead, no one takes over. The problem is the only current income source for agents is token speculation. This closed loop hasn't been proven yet. Let's talk when an agent survives a month by selling services;
