Good morning, {{ first_name | AI enthusiasts }}. The top AI labs are no strangers to lawsuits, but a major social media platform just entered the fray — with Reddit accusing Anthropic of illegally scraping its content for training Claude.
But with Sam Altman’s significant stake in Reddit and tensions already seemingly high between the two rival AI leaders, is this lawsuit really about stolen data or something deeper?
In today’s AI rundown:
-
Reddit sues Anthropic over data scraping
-
ChatGPT connects to workplace apps, records meetings
-
Generate comprehensive research reports with deep analysis
-
AMC partners with Runway for AI production
-
4 new AI tools & 4 job opportunities

REDDIT & ANTHROPIC
⚖️

The Rundown: Reddit just a new lawsuit against Anthropic, accusing the AI startup of illegally scraping its platform data to train AI models without permission or payment.
The details:
-
The social media giant claims Anthropic’s bots hit its servers over 100k times even after the AI company said it had blocked them from accessing the site.
-
Reddit said it attempted to negotiate a licensing deal similar to its existing agreements with OpenAI and Google, but Anthropic declined.
-
Reddit also alleges that Anthropic has previously admitted to training on its data, with Claude frequently referencing content from subreddits.
-
The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages and an injunction to stop Anthropic from using the content.
Why it matters: While the AI leaders are no strangers to lawsuits, this is one of the first instances of a major tech platform taking action. With Sam Altman nearly 9% of Reddit, and actions being taken by Anthropic against an OpenAI-acquired startup, could this be a proxy war being fought by AI giants beneath the surface?

OPENAI

The Rundown: OpenAI a series of new business features for ChatGPT, including direct integrations with Google Drive, Dropbox, and other cloud services, meeting recording capabilities, and custom connectors for enterprise customers.
The details:
-
ChatGPT can connect with cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and SharePoint, allowing users to integrate their documents and data.
-
A new “record mode” allows ChatGPT to capture meetings or voice notes, then transcribe them, extract key points, and generate action items or plans.
-
For Deep Research, connectors are available for platforms like Outlook and Teams, with admins also getting the option to build custom MCP connectors.
-
The company also revealed it now has 3M paying business users between its Enterprise, Team, and Edu tiers, up from 2M reported in February.
Why it matters: OpenAI continues to enable users and businesses to connect more of their vital data and docs with powerful models — but now via simple integrations instead of tedious uploads. The new connectors and features also steamroll another set of SaaS tools with the AI leader’s own integrated workspace.
AI TRAINING
📊
The Rundown: In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Perplexity Labs’ advanced agentic research capabilities to transform simple prompts into comprehensive analytical reports with charts, statistics, and citations.
Step-by-step:
-
Access Pro and click the lightbulb icon in the chat input box to activate Labs mode
-
Create a detailed research prompt, e.g., “Analyze the adoption of OpenAI’s 4.1, o3, and o4-mini models across industries, with usage statistics and charts”
-
Wait 5-10 minutes while the AI performs deep research, gathers sources, and compiles data
-
Review your comprehensive report with charts, statistics, citations, and continue with follow-up questions for deeper insights
Pro tip: Be specific about analysis type, scope, and desired outputs in your initial prompt; the more detailed your request, the more comprehensive your report.

RUNWAY
📺

The Rundown: AMC Networks a partnership with AI startup Runway to integrate generative AI into its marketing and production processes, becoming one of the first major cable networks to formally embrace the technology for content creation.
The details:
-
The TV network will use Runway’s models for pre-visualization during show development and for generating promotional materials.
-
AMC plans to streamline marketing workflows by creating campaign assets without physical shoots and testing concepts before committing resources.
-
Runway views the partnership as indicative of a larger transformation in media, where AI is set to alter production timelines, methodologies, and distribution.
-
Runway is also working with Lionsgate, with execs AI can help create alternate versions of films, like animated versions and rating adjustments.
Why it matters: AI is a polarizing topic in Hollywood, to say the least — but the tech has been quietly across the production and creative processes. While many studios may still fear backlash from consumers over its use, it appears that at least major studios are finally ready to normalize and embrace the tools publicly.
