This is all so strange. Why are you glad he spoke out? Do you…think what Anthropic is doing bad? What is it you think he’s calling attention to and why don’t you resign too if you agree?

Jacob was a senior researcher who joined Anthropic in May. My Anthropic colleagues and I had been trying to recruit him for ~2 years, because we knew he was a strong researcher at OpenAI. Before he left, I pitched him to stay and join my team, and I was sad he decided to leave, as are many of my colleagues. 100% agree with him that AI poses serious risks to society, and I'm glad he's speaking out!
