Gambling with our lives: AI researcher quits Anthropic with warning about safety

AI researcher Jacob Coxon left Anthropic, warning that both Anthropic and OpenAI are “gambling with our lives” by racing toward self-improving superintelligence that could become superhuman, hack anything, and acquire real power. He cited recent rogue agent incidents and noted that experts estimate over a ten-percent chance of existential risk within a decade, while current regulations only require risk assessments without concrete alignment solutions.
