Self-described Anthropic employee resigns, claims AI will 'probably kill us all'
AIandDesign · x · 2026-09-09
A poster claiming to be an Anthropic employee announced their resignation, saying they've seen from the inside that AI is 'probably going to kill us all' and refuse to be part of it. The post then takes a satirical turn, mocking themselves for choosing to post on X for clout instead of actually thwarting the danger, quipping that 'saving humanity is overrated.' It reads more as satire of AI-safety resignation culture than a serious insider warning.
