Google’s Nobel Winner Joins Anthropic, AI Solves 18 Rare Kid Diseases, Amazon Drops Altman Movie

Today we’re covering the biggest AI stories of June 22nd, 2026. John Jumper — the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who built AlphaFold and spent nine years at Google DeepMind — announced he’s joining Anthropic, the second headline DeepMind talent loss in a single week after Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer left for OpenAI, signaling that Anthropic and OpenAI’s gravitational pull is now strong enough to pull away even the researchers Google spent a decade building its scientific edge around. Researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard ran 376 previously unsolved pediatric genetic cases through OpenAI’s o3 Deep Research — all cases where specialists had already hit dead ends — and confirmed 18 new diagnoses, including seven cases where the answer already existed somewhere in a disconnected database that no human had the bandwidth to check. Plus, Amazon MGM quietly shelved its nearly finished documentary about Sam Altman called Artificial after its $50 billion investment in OpenAI made the project a conflict of interest — and today’s community workflow comes from Jon in Los Angeles, a 60-year-old sales coach who used Claude to rebuild a surfboard shaper friend’s website from scratch, grabbed the old text from a cached version, and delivered a fully functional site in a week with zero coding background.
