In one week, Claude went from #131 to #1 on the App Store. ChatGPT uninstalls surged 295%. And Sam Altman publicly admitted his company's communications were "opportunistic and sloppy." We break down exactly what happened — and what it means for the future of AI investment.

In this episode:

→ Why Anthropic walked away from a $200M Pentagon contract — and what their two specific red lines were

→ The full timeline of Sam Altman's communications breakdown: the vague X post, the AMA that backfired, and the Monday admission

→ Why the enterprise data is the most important story nobody is talking about (50%+ of US business AI spend)

→ Anthropic's $20B revenue run rate and what the download data actually shows

→ What this week means for investors watching the AI competitive landscape
