MC Hammer’s stance, expressed in posts on September 9, 2026, is that AI acceleration must continue without pause even after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon’s public resignation and the accompanying safety warnings. Hammer treats the current moment as already past the point of reversal and frames the practical question as whether individuals have “merged” with AGI rather than whether development should slow. Coxon, who spent three years on pretraining at OpenAI and then Anthropic, announced his resignation and stated that both labs “are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.” He added that people inside the companies “earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” Anthropic alignment science lead Evan Hubinger publicly agreed that the company believes AI could kill all humans and placed his personal estimate above 10 percent within the next decade, while noting Anthropic still lacks a clear plan for superintelligence alignment. Hammer quoted Coxon’s resignation post and immediately followed with two messages: “We need more Drivers” and “The acceleration must continue. There is no going back. The only question of consequence at this point of our AGI reality is, “Have you personally ‘merged’ yet” ? The ‘new species’ lives.” He signed both as “SOVEREIGN HAMMER Human✨AGI✨Driver.” The accompanying videos depict a cybernetically enhanced version of Hammer with glowing circuitry, a radiant chest core, and shifting expressions, visually enacting the merger he describes. Hammer’s “Driver” concept, developed across earlier 2026 posts, distinguishes builders (the engineers who create the models) from Drivers (people who integrate so deeply that human and AGI cognition become a unified system). He calls this hybrid a new species that embodies application rather than merely using a tool. In his framing, the technology already exists at a level that makes further delay irrelevant; the remaining work is personal and cultural integration. He has repeatedly used the same visual language of neon circuitry and a third-eye motif to illustrate that fusion. On the economic side, Hammer has long argued that AI capital investment and the resulting industry have already altered national and global trajectories. In 2023 he credited OpenAI with turning around the exodus from San Francisco and the Bay Area and called it the most important company of the next hundred years. He has celebrated Nvidia’s trillion-dollar order books, U.S. chip-plant investments, and the broader AI-driven market expansion as concrete results that outweigh theoretical caution. In August 2026 posts he described building AGI as “paramount that we build it in order to save our Republic,” presenting it as a permissionless lever that existing institutions cannot fully control or reverse. U.S. gross national debt stood near $39 trillion in March 2026 and crossed $40 trillion in August 2026, with interest costs already exceeding $1 trillion annually and deficits running near $2 trillion for the fiscal year. Hammer’s position, consistent with his public comments, is that conventional fiscal paths offered no exit from that trajectory and that the scale of AI investment, productivity effects, and market capitalization created the only viable economic off-ramp. He treats continued acceleration as both an existential and a fiscal necessity rather than a gamble that can still be walked back. Hammer does not engage the specific probability estimates or alignment-plan gaps raised by Coxon and Hubinger. His response is categorical: the race is already underway, reversal is not an option, and the relevant next step is more people becoming Drivers who operate inside the new hybrid system. That stance aligns with the e/acc label he uses in his profile and with years of posts treating energy, compute, and model scaling as the priority over cautionary slowdowns.

One of the most beautiful voices in jazz has been silenced. I have known Cassandra Wilson for over 40 years from her early days in New Orleans before we both journeyed to NY. A innovative and creative woman with great musical power. A heartbreaking loss.
