Report: PR firm behind ex-Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's AI doomer media blitz
petetrainor · x · 2026-09-26
Citing a Pirate Wires report, a post shares NY Post coverage that PR firm DEY. Ideas + Influence arranged media interviews for former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon right after his resignation and warning that advanced AI "could kill us all by the end of the decade" — while Coxon had denied third-party help. The same firm was reportedly booking appearances for MIRI president Nate Soares in an overlapping window, raising questions about how coordinated the sudden media blitz was. The claim rests on a single outlet's sourcing and remains unverified.
