Anthropic’s safety alarm escaped the lab and reached the CEO
The alarming part was not one Anthropic researcher quitting. Jacob Coxon’s warning drew 169 million views, then Anthropic alignment lead Evan Hubinger publicly put the chance of AI killing everyone within a decade above 10%. CEO Dario Amodei later said he agreed with Coxon’s diagnosis, while rejecting a halt to capability improvements. The safety debate is no longer an internal dissent story. It is now a public disagreement over what action follows.
