Anthropic Whistleblower Warns AI Frankensteins Are Engineering Our Doom. That’s Why These Rich SOBs Are Building Bunkers.

Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 8:21 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Robot hand, Jacob Coxon portrait, and his warning that AI could kill humanity.

I initially thought these AI nerds were just suicidal avengers. But then it occurred to me that these greedy SOBs are spending billions building doomsday bunkers and beefing up their personal security for a reason. And that’s because they fully expect to survive whatever catastrophe they unleash on the rest of us.

The wonder is that the political leaders they expect their AI god to replace are enabling them to engineer our extinction. We’re doomed.
