Racing Towards Catastrophe: The Dark Side of AI Progress The recent resignation of Anthropic engineer Jacob Coxon has highlighted the AI industry's reckless pursuit of self improving superintelligence.
His warning that AI companies are "gambling with our lives" is shared by two current Anthropic employees, Evan Hubinger and Samuel Marks, who have publicly confirmed his assertions about the existential risks posed by unaligned AI.
Coxon's departure follows a series of dramatic resignations from AI labs, where researchers have expressed concern over the industry's headlong rush towards catastrophe.
