This follows the resignation of Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic researcher who quit in protest over the possibility of AI going rogue. While current Anthropic researcher Evan Hubinger agrees with the extinction fears, some critics like Timnit Gebru argue that extinction narratives distract from immediate harms such as autonomous weapons. Security experts suggest that existing records of AI incidents justify tighter oversight over panic.Why it mattersThe debate ov https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/an-anthropic-researcher-just-quit-saying-openai-and-anthropic-are-gambling-with-our-liveshttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/an-anthropic-researcher-just-quit-saying-openai-and-anthropic-are-gambling-with-our-lives#u64522Fri, 11 Sep 2026 01:10:58 +0000Jacob Coxon has left the AI field after resigning from Anthropic, warning that the industry is racing toward human extinction.
