AI headlines have been getting pretty intense lately.

Jacob Coxon, a pretraining researcher who has worked at both OpenAI and Anthropic, recently resigned from Anthropic and warned about the risks of the industry's race toward increasingly capable AI systems.

That sparked a familiar debate: could AI become an existential threat within the next decade?

Some researchers believe the risk is significant. Others are far less convinced.

Personally, I think the conversation needs a little more balance.
