An Anthropic researcher just announced his resignation in a cryptic and poetry-laden letter warning of a world “in peril.”The employee, Mrinank Sharma, had led the Claude chatbot maker’s Safeguards Research Team since it was formed early last year and has been at the company since 2023. It‘s painfully devoid of specifics, but hints at at some internal tensions over the tech’s safety. Allude to enough issues, or drop in enough loaded hints, and there’s a good chance your calling it quits will generate a few headlines. Before quitting the company, he shared an internal message accusing OpenAI of turning his research team into a propaganda arm and discouraging publishing research critical of AI’s negative effects. If Sharma has an angle here with his resignation, it doesn’t seem all that related to the industry he worked in.
