What could go wrong if you ask the heads of two competing companies to hold hands?

At the AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, an extremely awkward moment occurred. While Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tried to unite all the tech giants for a nice photo "as one front," Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) demonstratively refused to hold each other's hands, simply raising their fists.

Background:
Dario Amodei is a former top manager at OpenAI who left due to disagreements with Altman over AI safety issues and founded Anthropic (creators of Claude). Apparently, old grudges and market competition for leadership in AI outweigh protocols of politeness.

"I just got confused about what we were supposed to do on stage," — Sam Altman.
