"What is the probability of extinction (from AI/SI) as you see it?"
214 million people saw this AI warning. So we called an emergency debate.
The warning came from someone who had worked at both Anthropic and OpenAI.
Then a current Anthropic employee backed it publicly.
It had spread so far beyond the tech world that a friend of mine who cuts hair and has never really cared about AI messaged me asking, “What the hell is going on?”
I then realised a lot of people were probably asking the same question.
The problem is, when you speak to people who have spent years studying AI, you get completely opposing answers.
So I brought four of them around the same table.
Roman Yampolskiy is a computer scientist who coined the term “AI safety” and has spent years studying whether increasingly intelligent systems can remain under human control.
Nate Soares leads the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and has spent more than a decade working on AI alignment. He believes we are moving too quickly towards systems we don’t yet know how to reliably control.
Ed Zitron thinks much of the AI conversation has become detached from what the technology can actually do today. He believes the industry is overhyping it while distracting us from financial, environmental and social consequences already happening.
Andrew McAfee is an MIT researcher and economist who takes a very different view. He thinks we spend so much time talking about what could go wrong that we barely talk about what AI could make better.
And that disagreement is what made this conversation so interesting to me.
We discussed things like:
- How do you control something that eventually becomes smarter than you?
- Are the biggest warnings about AI based on evidence or assumptions?
- What happens to work and human purpose if AI becomes better at more cognitive tasks?
- Are we ignoring problems AI is already creating because we’re obsessed with hypothetical future ones?
- Why have Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Geoffrey Hinton all warned us about AI?
The question I kept coming back to was simple:
What is actually true?
Depending on who you listen to, AI is either one of the greatest opportunities humanity has ever created or something we’re racing towards without understanding the consequences.
Both claims deserve to be challenged.
There were moments in this debate where I genuinely found myself moving between the arguments. That’s the value of putting people who fundamentally disagree in the same room.
I didn’t want four people telling me the same thing. I wanted each of them to explain where the other side was wrong.
If you’ve watched the last few months of AI news wondering what you’re actually supposed to believe, this conversation is for you.
Our emergency AI debate with Ed, Roman, Nate and Andrew is out now ❤️👊🏾

Thank you, @elonmusk, for watching our debate! I agree, @So8res is a brilliant thinker and the best debate partner I’ve ever had. His insights into the "collective" are well worth hearing. For a deeper dive, check out my full conversation with him on The Roman Forum podcast!

Great Job on your Exclusive @piratewires nitter.net/dodgeblake/status/2103…. .
Exclusive in @PirateWires: Jacob has been working with DEY., the PR firm that represents Eliezer Yudkowsky and other famous AI doomers.
We also heard that DEY. was preemptively looking to book Nate Soares (MIRI founder) for interviews timed with Jacob's debut.

This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works:
1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance.
2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely.
According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits.
The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024.
Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025.
And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well.
What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)?
3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself.
It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one.
4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining 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.

Turns out Jacob Coxon is a liar. There is a very sophisticated PsyOp to move AI into Dem controlled regulations. Obama is one vocal backer for this plan. @ParkerThayer @capitalresearch @BretBaier @peterjhasson @BarackObama
This was such a smart question from @BretBaier tonight: "Did you work with any third parties as far as this whistleblowing and coming out?"
Jacob Coxon: "Not at all."
See below for research from @ParkerThayer of @capitalresearch questioning whether there was coordination between Jacob and donor-funded anti-AI groups.
This is something journalists should get a definitive answer on in order to determine how credible Jacob is.
