"I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives... AI could kill us all by the end of the decade." Jacob Coxon
Weekly view points. Could AI poses an existential threat to humanity by the end of the decade
