So it took me a while to get to the indomitable Arundhati Roy's essay, Apocalypse Now (https://www.equator.org/articles/arundhati-roy-artificial-intelligence). She mentioned how Jacob Coxon, the so-called "whistleblower" who worked at Anthropic, was treated very differently by the company executives, than say, me or @meredith._.meredith. Correct. When you're an actual whistleblower, you don't have company executives lining up to say how much they agree with you. You get fired and smeared, like I was. That's why I told @myzfrancois that I refuse to call him a whistleblower. The whole essay is very well worth your time to read.

Thanks for this important distinction. So sick of seeing him and all the others like him celebrated. The real dissenters have been fired or killed via « suicide », not lauded.

Coxon is NOT a whistleblower. I’ve never seen a clearer and more orchestrated plant in my life. It’s almost lazy how obvious and poorly masked it was.

Two of my most favourite people who speak truth to power. Looking forward to your book.

The articulation & intimate imagery Arubdhati Roy provokes in her writing especially on this topic is an unveiling of evil with surgical precision. Thank you for all the flags you’ve raised and how you continue to advocate!

1. Appreciate you for being among the first experts to call all of this out. Look forward to your book! 2. Coxon is seeking attention and influence, he took no risk, he deserves no credit.
