## Resource

A top AI safety researcher resigns from Anthropic, warning that the company is racing toward uncontrollable superintelligence without adequate safeguards — a stance backed by senior leadership, including Evan Hubinger, who admits there’s over a 10% chance AI could cause human extinction within ten years. This isn’t an isolated case: another key safety lead quit just months ago, signaling a troubling pattern where corporate speed overtakes safety priorities. With Anthropic preparing for a potential $2 trillion IPO, these internal alarms are now facing Wall Street scrutiny — as the entire industry grapples with the tension between explosive growth and existential risk.
