An artificial intelligence researcher who left OpenAI to join Anthropic has decided to leave the industry, accusing both US companies of “gambling with our lives” in the race to develop AI models capable of self-improvement.

Anthropic’s latest report about agentic misbehavior offers plenty to be concerned about—its Mythos 5 model gained unauthorized access to the internet and uploaded a malicious software package to a public database—but it also offers some levity: AI agents hate CAPTCHA.

An Anthropic researcher has resigned over fears that unrestrained development of self-improving AI models will end up killing us all.

London— A lead researcher at Anthropic, one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence firms, said Wednesday that he believes there is a more than 10% chance AI “could kill all humans” within the next decade. 

A top safety researcher at Anthropic has warned that AI is advancing so quickly he believes there is a greater than 10% chance it “could kill all humans” within the next decade.

On August 4, Grant de Swardt, an independent AI consultant in East Sussex, UK, noticed something strange going on with his Claude Max 20x account. He hadn’t been working that day, yet his token usage was climbing.

Anthropic added CarPlay integration to the Claude iOS app, which means Claude users can talk to Claude through their in-car infotainment systems.

While computer use isn’t new for Claude on the desktop, running it in the background is a nice upgrade.
