Anthropic pretraining researcher resigns, accusing labs of racing to self-improving superintelligence

An engineer who spent three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic resigned from Anthropic, saying neither company is acting responsibly and both are racing toward self-improving superintelligence. The reposter adds a contrarian take: LLMs are a dead end for AGI, and labs that don't believe their own doomsaying are reframing AI as "dangerous" to sell it to governments after failing to monetize it.
