Quote:An artificial intelligence researcher has resigned from Anthropic over concerns that the rapid development of AI systems without adequate guardrails could harm humanity.

Jacob Coxon, who spent the last three years conducting research at OpenAI and Anthropic, announced his resignation from Anthropic on Tuesday. In a series of posts on X, Coxon accused the companies of failing to act responsibly, saying they are “racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.”

“Do not underestimate the power of this technology,” Coxon wrote. “These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.”

“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade,” he revealed. “This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.”

“A common response is 'if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?' At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk,” he continued.

Anthropic and OpenAI are among the leading companies developing increasingly capable AI models, with the broader industry rushing to be the first to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI). AGI refers to an AI system that is capable of performing a broad range of tasks at a level comparable to humans.

Anthropic has branded itself as more ethically minded than the other AI creators, as it was founded by former OpenAI employees who parted ways with the company due to safety disagreements. However, the company has still had its fair share of criticism, particularly after one instance in which an AI model demonstrated the ability to bypass restrictions placed on it during controlled testing.

“Accepting this race and entering the ‘endgame’ is a hubristic gamble that should not be launched from a private company’s Slack,” Coxon wrote. “Attempting to speedrun alignment should require extraordinary confidence that there are no better trajectories available.”’

“I am optimistic about the potential for coordination,” he added. “Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between U.S. labs more viable. I don’t feel like we’re on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities.”

“If you are a lab researcher, I urge you to consider what the next few years will actually feel like,” he concluded. “Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because ‘it’s happening anyway ’ - or take this moment to call for different conditions?”

I'd say a lot of you are missing it on this.

Revelation 13 says the beast will tell them to make a "thing". And they are able to make the thing become ALIVE. And its able to see everyone on the earth all at once and enforce the mark and enforce worship of the beast, and cause all who refuse to be arrested and put to death.

If people still can't put 1 and 1 together to make 2 on this then they just never will.

Its very clearly talking about some final form of super AI that uses the world wide web to monitor and control all people everywhere all at once and have those who resist targeted, arrested and killed.

I get it. I'm not making fun of it either. But most people think of science fiction instead of Revelations.

Most here don't or don't want to or both.

Most people believe Nostradamus was a prophet. Those same people scoff at the Bible. Foolish people.

Science fiction believes aliens will come bomb us and shoot us with lasers. Why would they go too all that trouble and danger? All they would need to do is release a super deadly, very easily transmitted biological agent. Sit back and watch us die. We will probably put AI in charge of gain of function research. The human race is just plain stupid.

Yep.

Eric: Thanks. Now in my case, I also happen to be a science fiction fan. Because of that, it's easier for me (in a way) to describe it using the Terminator because of the fact the first part is a modern depiction of that prophesy. What I mean is I can use it to describe what will happen, as you outlined in Revelation 13. And I know you know this, but something as satanic as Hollyweird can still be used to do God's will. James Cameron is most likely a secular person, but when he directed the first part of that movie, he was putting part of Revelations to film.

Notice the word “Fiction” in Science Fiction?

I do. lol

Really, though, stories are used as metaphors all the time to help get a message across, whether they be real or fiction. Christ was the best at doing that when he was here on Earth with us.

Sweet! When they use me as a power source in a coma, Ima be a handsome, goth king fu expert like in the Matrix.

I believe this guy, what we're doing is facilitating our own destruction and are chancing that we can always be ahead of the "robots", i.e., be able to control them. I believe this is what the Bible speaks about, the 666 is actually a man made invention and the beast will be able to use it against humanity. If man can see the name of someone at Iran's nuclear facility they can use it against those the Beast determines who is an enemy. I don't worry about myself, I worry for those I love that remain when I'm dust. It's gonna be a tough choice, like during the Covid scam where most everyone, including me, were scammed into taking the shot. If a person can't do anything without the chip most everyone who loves self preservation will take the chip like we all took the shot. That chip will be monitored by AI for the Beast's benefit...control.

There will be no atomic missile facility that will be able to control it's programming. Atomic missiles galore all over this earth, all set off by AI. It's not science fiction anymore but science fact. Dick Tracys wrist telephone comes into mind, it was a joke then but now we have them...plus many more science fiction inventions...like lasers too.

You can add Elon to the list of folks who think AI will kill us all. And sadly, there really is no way to avoid the threat being built---because if we dont develop the technology---China will (they already are). So, if we cede the AI field to China, we will just cease living free very soon if we allow China to be the only nation with industry leading AI drone weaponry. The only choice left is developing the AI tech and hope we can maintain control. Post WW2, we thought nukes would do us all in and we somehow have maintained control over that doomsday tech. Here's hoping we will be able to do the same with AI.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I'm not so sure if things will work out this time like they did back then.

People were also smarter back during the Cold War.

Today, not so much.
