Mrinank Sharma, who was leading the Safeguards Research Team at Anthropic, has resigned from the company with one of the wackiest letters you'll ever read, complete with a citation for the bible on CosmoErotic Humanism. The latter being a new global mythology about how all you need is love, man.

Sharma posted his extraordinary resignation letter on X, the first one of these I've ever read that features footnotes (four of them) and ends with a poem. Anyway, after a lot of LinkedIn-brained stuff about how wonderful Anthropic is, we get to the meat of the matter:

"It is clear to me that the time has come to move on," writes Sharma. "I continuously find myself reckoning with our situation. The world is in peril. And not just from AI, or bioweapons, but from a whole series of interconnected crises unfolding in this very moment. We appear to be approaching a threshold where our wisdom must grow in equal measure to our capacity to affect the world, lest we face the consequences."
