""I resigned from Anthropic today... Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt... many executives couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible, but I hear the same people express fear privately."

Jacob Coxen senior researcher at Anthropic, previously at OpenAI

"Jacob is correct here — we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to."

Evan Hubinger, Anthropic alignment lead
