Anthropic staff expect RSI by 2027 and 'a good chance it goes horribly wrong'

Responding to Jacob Coxon's viral AI warning, another user says they can confirm it: nearly every conversation with Anthropic staff over recent months involved some version of "we expect to start RSI in 2027, maybe late 2026, and there's a good chance that goes horribly wrong." The quoted post adds these are literal quotes from Coxon's Anthropic colleagues, and the internal consensus is the next year or two is crunch time — when Anthropic and competitors decide the fate of humanity.
