Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon revealed to the media that he chose to leave his job two months before the shares were due to concerns about artificial intelligence security issues. This revelation brought more attention to Coxon's resignation at the AI Lab, which sparked a buzz all over the internet. The core idea he put forward was that AI technology could lead to the extinction of humans. In an interview on Wednesday, Coxon said, “Raising Anthropic's valuation didn't do me any good... I left the company before I took ownership.” His exit post on the X platform has now been read more than 115 million times. The post reads: “People involved in AI research and development truly believe that this technology could take everyone's lives by the end of this decade. It's not a marketing gimmick.” Other AI researchers have resigned due to safety concerns, but they all left their jobs after many years of work, and the shares are likely to have already been owned. Coxon said he has only been with Anthropic for four months, and it takes six months for the company's employees to have a full six months before the shares are vested. He still holds shares in his former employer OpenAI.
