Jacob Coxon, a former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher, went viral with warnings that AI could kill all humans by the end of the decade, drawing replies from Anthropic’s alignment leadership and concern from OpenAI research leadership. The post cites a greater than 10% chance of this happening within the next decade. The article says Coxon’s message is too vague to drive concrete action, so it mainly fuels fear rather than prompting specific policy or projects to stop.
