Several AI insiders have raised alarm: 27-year-old researcher Jacob Coxon resigned after moving from OpenAI to Anthropic and warned AI could destroy humanity; Anthropic team lead Evan Hubinger said the risk is >10% within a decade; Dario Amodei warned of major job impacts. Some in Silicon Valley are skeptical and suggest such warnings may attract attention as Anthropic and OpenAI prepare for potentially record-setting IPOs.
