Users on X are using AI video and image tools to turn Sam Altman and Dario Amodei into recurring characters, producing fake singing, dancing, acting and HBO-style drama clips built around their real-world rivalry. The trend reimagines the two CEOs' public feuding over AI safety and competition as an ongoing fictional storyline rather than reporting any actual statements from either executive.
