Every signal is tagged for the harm it poses to the public, the system that makes that harm possible, and the industry where it lands. Tags are experimental classifications, not official designations.

OpenAI-then-Anthropic pretraining researcher Jacob Coxon resigns, saying both labs are racing to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with lives.
