Earlier this week, an AI researcher at Anthropic
resigned from his job and posted about it on X.

thought the technology could eventually kill us all.
It was scary stuff,
and the post made waves in the AI industry and beyond.

Mike, how would you describe this moment for AI?
Are we at a turning point?
