@the.report.card: Jacob Coxon had the kind of job most people in tech only dream about. Three years deep in pretraining research at OpenAI and then Anthropic, two of the most powerful AI labs on the planet. He could have stayed quiet, kept building, and collected the paycheck. Instead, Jacob Coxon chose to walk away and tell the public what he saw from the inside. That decision took real courage. Coxon knew going public meant putting his career and his relationships in the industry on the line. He says this is not a marketing stunt and not exaggeration for clicks. According to Coxon, senior researchers and executives at these companies privately share his fear, even when they choose safer, more polished language in public. He says the labs are locked in a race, each one betting the other will not slow down, so neither one does. Coxon is now urging the public to pay attention to whether AI systems are being allowed to improve themselves without real human oversight, warning that once that starts, the window to control it closes fast. He is calling for outside accountability... international bodies with real authority, not decisions made behind closed doors at a private company. Jacob Coxon didn’t have to say any of this. He had a seat at the table and gave it up anyway, because he believed the rest of us deserved to know. Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic has responded to requests for comment. Share and follow for more
