Ex-Anthropic staffer tells Fox News AI may be humanity's most dangerous tech

Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic employee whose viral AI-doom post drew 143 million impressions in 24 hours, told Fox News: "We know how to control nuclear weapons... We don't yet know how to control AI," calling AI "possibly the most dangerous technology that humanity has ever created."
The poster calls it one of the most dooming statements in a long time, argues the fear-mongering lacks valid arguments, and notes it could weigh on Anthropic's IPO.
