Source: NDTV · 24 Sep 2026, 18:48 UTC

Meta AI chief Alexandr Wang posted and later deleted an edited photograph involving OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, according to NDTV. The alteration inserted Meta’s Muse mascot between the two executives, turning an awkward moment into a joke about bringing AI rivals together.

Meta AI chief Alexandr Wang posted an edited version of a photograph featuring OpenAI chief Sam Altman and Anthropic chief Dario Amodei, according to NDTV. In Wang’s version, Meta’s furry Muse mascot was placed between Altman and Amodei. The mascot was shown holding both executives’ hands, creating a visual chain between them.

The edit turned what the report described as an awkward moment into a joke about Muse’s supposed ability to bring competing artificial-intelligence figures together. Wang later deleted the post. The supplied material does not explain what appeared in the original photograph, why the moment was considered awkward or whether Altman, Amodei or their companies responded to the edited image.
