2026-09-09 / reddit-researcherAn Anthropic researcher resigned and left AI entirely, saying the labs are 'gambling with our lives'Jacob Coxon, 27, who spent three years building models at OpenAI and then Anthropic, resigned on September 8 and quit the industry, writing that both companies 'are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.' He said he joined Anthropic for its safety reputation and believes the safety work is sincere, but that competitive pressure makes the trade-offs unavoidable, and that 'by the end of next year things could be out of control already.' The Wall Street Journal called it one of the first cases of an Anthropic employee leaving over safety fears; the r/ClaudeAI thread drew 288 upvotes and 69 comments.
