Anthropic Researcher Resigns, Warns AI Could Pose Existential Risk by 2030

A researcher at Anthropic has resigned from the AI safety company, citing serious concerns about the technology's potential dangers. The individual, identified as Coxon, publicly announced the resignation on X, formerly Twitter. In the post, Coxon stated that those actively developing AI genuinely believe it could pose a lethal threat to humanity before the end of this decade.
