OpenAI's rival, Anthropic, played an elaborate prank on the AI startup by sending thousands of paper clips in the shape of OpenAI's logo to its offices.

The paper clips were a reference to the "paper clip maximizer" scenario, where an AI's sole task of making paper clips could inadvertently result in the destruction of humans.
