So I guess the big story today or this week or maybe even for quite a while is the AI story.

I'm talking, of course, about the infamous resignation letter of Jacob Coxon over at Anthropic.

You all hear about this, right? Yeah.

Oh, yes.

All right.

Well, we're going to read it.

We're going to read the full thing as as posted on Twitter, because that's how you resign these days.

This is what he said on September the 8th.

I resigned from Anthropic today.

I spent the last three years doing pre-training research at both OpenAI and Anthropic.

Neither company is acting responsibly.

They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.

More thoughts below.

And let's go below.

Do not underestimate the power of this technology.

These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.

We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.

This is not a marketing stunt.

If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible.

But I hear the same people express fear.

Show more.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hang on.

I messed up my screen.
