An account @hilbertspaess claims to have resigned from Anthropic today, saying it spent three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic and accusing both labs of racing recklessly toward self-improving superintelligence.
The community is skeptical: the account has only 7 posts, no LinkedIn presence, yet surged to 160K followers, leading many to call it a psyop — a likely fake identity farming engagement on AI safety discourse.
