AnnouncementTalentSep 10, 2026

Jacob Coxon, who resigned from Anthropic this week after warning that AI's competitive race could produce uncontrollable systems, told Axios he cannot profit from any rise in Anthropic's valuation because his shares never vested. Business Insider reported he previously worked at OpenAI on GPT-4o. He has since been interviewed by Wired and Time, and responded to Taylor Lorenz's "doomer posting" accusation. He gave the Wall Street Journal an exclusive before posting his statements online.
