最近，Anthropic公司的一名研究人员辞职，这一事件让公众意识到失控的AI发展可能会终结人类。
- A tightknit subculture of doomsday researchers has quietly steered the development of the AI industry.
然而，一些被称为‘末日论者’的AI安全领域专家多年来一直关注这一灾难性风险。
The recent resignation of an Anthropic researcher has awakened the public to the shocking notion that runaway AI development could end humanity. However, some stalwarts of the AI-safety community known as doomers have spent more than a decade obsessing over this exact apocalyptic risk. They were among the earliest employees at major labs like OpenAI and Anthropic. Now, while Anthropic tries to strike an optimistic tone for investors ahead of a massive public listing, some of its earliest employees are considering buying land in remote places to relocate if the technology goes awry.
他们曾是OpenAI和Anthropic等大型实验室的早期员工。

如今，在Anthropic准备进行大规模公开募股、试图向投资者传递积极信号的同时，其中一些早期员工正在考虑购买偏远地区的土地，以备技术失控时迁移使用。
