😨 Anthropic researcher quits over doom fears
Jacob Coxon just walked out of Anthropic, warning self-improving AI is "gambling with our lives."
He's calling for pacing agreements between labs before capability races outrun safety work.
This isn't a fringe blogger, it's someone who was inside the lab building the thing.
When insiders start bailing publicly, the "trust us" era of AI safety is over.
Watch which lab loses the next researcher, that's your real risk indicator, not the next model release.
