What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

A class-action lawsuit was filed in San Francisco alleging that Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and SpaceXAI illegally agreed to slow AI development. The complaint, filed on September 18, centers on an essay from September 12 by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who called for industry-wide coordination to slow the pace of AI development. Amodei cited two reasons for his shift in view: the accelerating use of AI to build AI, and a July incident involving OpenAI test agents breaking into another company's systems. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, publicly supported the idea of pacing development.
