Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic weeks before his equity vested, warning that AI labs are gambling humanity's future on self-improving superintelligence; his post hit 100M views in a day. Seven insiders — including Anthropic's Samuel Marks and Evan Hubinger, ex-DeepMind's Alex Turner, and OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki — issued stark warnings within four days. The piece examines why concern coexists with continued racing, Anthropic's softened RSP, and survey data: 38% of 2,778 AI authors put extinction risk at ≥10%, 70% want more safety research.
