Researcher resigns from Anthropic, slamming OpenAI and Anthropic's superintelligence race
vkrakovna · x · 2026-09-14
- A pretraining researcher with three years across OpenAI and Anthropic publicly resigned from Anthropic, saying neither company is acting responsibly and both are "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence, gambling with our lives."
- The amplified comment adds that aligning something far smarter than us is humanity's greatest challenge, that racing each other is the worst way to solve it, and that frontier AI takeover risk is even higher than commonly assumed — the frontier should be paced, not raced.
