- AP reports four subscribers sued Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and SpaceX (AI), alleging illegal coordination to slow AI development and reduce the value of paid subscriptions.
- The suit follows Dario Amodei's September 12 slowdown proposal, publicly backed by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis.
- Allegations remain unproven, but the poster argues competing firms shouldn't collectively decide how fast their products improve.
