“I resigned from Anthropic today,” Coxon posted on X. “Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.” His dire warning amassed more than 90 million views in less than 24 hours.
Coxon’s departure is unusual. Many of the most prominent researchers to leave frontier AI companies with public warnings worked on safety. But Coxon helped build the capabilities he now fears, spending roughly three years conducting pretraining research at OpenAI and Anthropic. His resignation offers a glimpse of how concern about the pace of development has spread beyond the teams specifically charged with making advanced AI safer.

Before leaving, Coxon discussed his decision with “many” colleagues and found broad agreement that the AI industry’s current trajectory carried significant risks. What kept others at their desks, he says, was a kind of fatalism. “There’s this atmosphere of almost resignation,” he says, “where people have accepted that the whole race is happening and as such, the best thing they can do is put their head down, try and make their own work as safely as possible, even if they think there's a decent chance the whole thing just spirals out of control.”
10% within the next decade,” wrote Evan Hubinger, Anthropic’s head of alignment stress testing. “I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to,” he added.
Many in Washington shared Coxon’s post, citing it as a sign for the government to act. To Taylor Lorenz, a technology journalist, Coxon’s intervention was “sanctimonious doomer posting.”
Coxon says he’d like to see, at minimum, leading AI companies agree to not accelerate recursive self-improvement, or leaning on powerful internal models to accelerate the development of future AI systems.
Coxon says he’s inspired by the AI Futures Project, the organization behind the viral forecast AI 2027, started by former OpenAI whistleblower Daniel Kokotajlo. “I hope to try and do work in that vein, something along the lines of communicating to people what the world will look like,” Coxon says. “I’m not sure exactly what that’s going to look like yet, but we’ll see.”
