A researcher for Anthropic resigned from the company on Tuesday, warning that “the people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.”
In a series of posts on X, Jacob Coxon, who said he has worked for both Anthropic and OpenAI on pretraining research, claimed neither AI giant is “acting responsibly.”
“They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives,” he said.
Coxon warned that Americans cannot afford to “underestimate this technology.”
“These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing,” he said.
“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade,” he added. “No other human activity poses this level of danger.”
