Jacob Coxon, a 27-year-old former OpenAI employee now at Anthropic, resigned and warned that AI could soon achieve superhuman abilities, hack any system, and has over a 10% chance of causing human extinction within ten years. Anthropic and OpenAI insiders echoed safety concerns; Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Grindr CEO George Arison dismissed them as hype. Anthropic chief Dario Amodei called for slower model development and global regulation, labeling the risks “serious.”
