OPENAI’S PENTAGON DEAL BACKFIRES
OpenAI is revising parts of its new defense contract after backlash from employees, users, and the broader AI community.
The original agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense was finalized extremely quickly, just hours after the government stopped using Anthropic’s tools. The timing triggered criticism online, internal pushback, and even multiple reports of users switching from ChatGPT to Claude. Claude even made a guide on how to import your memory from “other AI providers” into their service.
Sam Altman later admitted the rollout “looked opportunistic and sloppy” and said the company moved too fast communicating the deal.
What you should know:
OpenAI is adding new language stating its AI cannot be intentionally used for domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens
The company also clarified its models will not be deployed to intelligence agencies like the NSA for now
The contract language is being revised to explicitly limit tracking, monitoring, and surveillance uses
Altman acknowledged the deal created significant brand damage and internal concern, holding an all-hands meeting to address questions
Why it matters:
AI labs are now navigating a difficult line between government partnerships and public trust.
Working with defense agencies can unlock massive contracts and influence national infrastructure. But it also raises questions about surveillance, military applications, and the ethical boundaries of AI deployment.
The bigger context here is the rivalry between OpenAI and Anthropic.
Anthropic previously refused similar language in its own negotiations with the Pentagon over concerns about surveillance and autonomous weapons. When those talks collapsed, OpenAI stepped in quickly to finalize a deal.
That speed is exactly what triggered the backlash.
OUR TAKE
This sequence of events feels messy, and is.
The deal was announced quickly, backlash exploded across users and employees, and only after that did OpenAI start clarifying limits around surveillance and intelligence use. By that point the headline had already traveled.
Once people associate your product with Pentagon deals and surveillance debates, walking back the wording doesn’t really reset the narrative.
The brand damage is already done.
And it highlights something uncomfortable for AI labs right now: the same tools used for writing emails, coding, and homework are increasingly tied to government and military infrastructure.
That tension isn’t going away.
QUICK HITS
Microsoft partners with Starlink to expand rural internet access: The collaboration will combine Starlink’s low-Earth orbit satellite network with Microsoft’s connectivity programs to bring broadband to hard-to-reach regions. The effort builds on Microsoft’s initiative that has already helped connect more than 299 million people globally.
OpenAI rolls out less cringe GPT-5.3 Instant to all users: OpenAI launched GPT-5.3 Instant for all ChatGPT users, addressing complaints about overly cautious responses in GPT-5.2. The update gives more direct answers and reduces hallucinations by up to 26.8% on topics like medicine and law.
Yahoo offloads Engadget to Static Media in quiet sale: Yahoo is selling longtime tech publication Engadget to digital media company Static Media as part of a broader push to focus on core properties. The deal is expected to close by the end of March, marking another ownership change for the site, which has covered consumer technology since 2004.

MONETIZE YOUR PROCESSES
Record your process once and get an automatic step-by-step guide
⏱️ 3–10 minutes | 🔧 Needs: a workflow you already perform (publishing content, onboarding clients, running a report, etc.), Chrome extension or desktop app, and a short narration of what you're doing
Why build this? Most processes never get documented because it’s tedious. You record a Loom, rewatch it, take screenshots, write steps, format everything, and by the time you finish it’s been an hour. So most founders just don’t document anything. Glitter AI flips that workflow. Instead of documenting after the fact, you simply record yourself doing the task once and the tool generates a structured guide automatically.
Steps:
Record yourself doing the task normally:
Start recording in Glitter AI and perform the process like you normally would. Click through the workflow and narrate what you’re doing. Don’t worry about documentation, just complete the task.Let the tool generate the guide:
When you stop recording, Glitter automatically converts the workflow into a clean step-by-step tutorial. It organizes each action into steps and pairs them with screenshots from the recording.Clean up the guide quickly:
Inside the editor you can reorder steps, add notes, blur sensitive information, or tweak wording. The structure is already built, so editing takes a few minutes.Turn the process into a reusable system:
Instead of explaining things repeatedly, you now have a shareable guide. These work well for onboarding teammates, delegating to contractors, client training, or internal documentation.
Share or export the guide:
You can export the guide as a PDF, HTML page, or Markdown file, or embed it into tools like Notion or Google Docs. There’s also an option to share a public or private link.
Expected outcome:
A clean, professional SOP created from a single recording session. Instead of rewriting processes every time you delegate work, you can capture them once and reuse them forever.

TOOL OF THE DAY
A platform for turning browser tasks into production APIs.
Notte lets you automate work on websites that don’t have public APIs by deploying browser agents that complete the task for you. Describe the action you want, and the platform generates a callable API endpoint you can run serverless, schedule on cron, or plug directly into your workflows.
