Following the resignation of an Anthropic researcher to draw attention to AI risks, other employees echoed similar warnings. Elon Musk, meanwhile, argued that these concerns are a staged game aimed at creating regulatory pressure.

Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon announced his resignation, stating that the company and OpenAI are not developing artificial intelligence models responsibly.

Support Statements from Employees

Following Coxon's viral post, other Anthropic employees, such as Anna Wang and Drake Thomas, shared concerns that the process is moving too fast.

Figures like Samuel Marks and Evan Hubinger also stated their support for the view that the technology could lead to the end of humanity.

Reaction from Elon Musk and Conservative Figures

Elon Musk suggested in a post on the X platform that this wave of warnings is a setup to negatively impact public perception of AI and to introduce regulations.

Company Strategy and Expert Opinions

An Anthropic spokesperson maintained that they are transparent about risks and continue to develop models with strong safety measures.

Experts like Gary Marcus, on the other hand, warned against near-term catastrophes such as AI-driven pathogens and disinformation warfare.
