Anthropic researcher quits, warning company is 'racing straight to self-improving superintelligence'
TechCrunch AI · rss · 2026-09-12
An Anthropic researcher resigned this week, warning on X that the company is "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives." Notably, Anthropic's own alignment lead co-signed the message rather than walking it back. TechCrunch notes the doomer warning lands differently given reports that Anthropic is preparing for an IPO.
