The world of AI is rife with drama, and this week is no exception.
We’re pulling back the curtain on the alleged “divorce” between Jony Ive and Sam Altman, a story of trademark disputes and “ruthless Machiavellian leadership” that reveals the high-stakes game being played at the top.
We also dive into the escalating “wars” between Large Language Models, exposing how giants like OpenAI and Anthropic are battling over data, acquisitions, and the very definition of fair use.
The main event? A personal walkthrough of a feature that will change how you work with AI. We get hands-on with Claude’s new “Artifacts,” a game-changing update that lets you build, customize, and share your own interactive AI tools in minutes.

Ive vs. Altman
What started with a friendly photo-op between Jony Ive and Sam Altman quickly soured. We unpack the lawsuit from a company named IYO, who claims OpenAI and Ive’s new venture, IO, isn’t just a naming coincidence. This conflict shines a light on Sam Altman’s aggressive leadership style and raises questions about intellectual property in a world where ideas move at the speed of light. It’s a classic Silicon Valley tale of ambition, betrayal, and big money.
LLM Wars
Beyond the personalities, a technical and ethical war is brewing. We explore how Anthropic’s Claude is making strategic moves against OpenAI, including cutting off data access for a multi-billion dollar acquisition. This is part of a larger battle over how AI models are trained. We discuss the pivotal “fair use” rulings affecting Meta and Claude, who have been using millions of copyrighted and pirated books to train their models, and what it means for the future of content and media.
Claude’s Artifacts
Here’s where theory turns into practice. We introduce you to “Artifacts,” Claude’s powerful new feature that lets you go from consumer to creator. An Artifact is any document, dashboard, or tool you generate with AI. Claude now organizes these creations, allowing you to find, publish, and share them with a single click. The real magic lies in the “Inspiration” tab, which offers pre-built templates—like a fully functional trivia game—that you can customize. You can even see the exact chat history used to create them, providing a masterclass in effective prompting.
