AI ‘Doomer’ PR Firm Worked for Jacob Coxon as He Sparked Furor over Safety While Denying Third-Party Help: Report

Jacob Coxon said insiders believe AI could kill humanity by the decade’s end, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei later called for slower development.

  • Led by US Undersecretary of State Jacob Helberg, Pax Silica is an international initiative designed to secure AI infrastructure by controlling the global supply chain for rare-earth minerals and critical components.
  • The project's centerpiece is a 4,000-acre economic security zone in New Clark City, Philippines, offering tax incentives and fast-track approvals to attract companies to the Luzon Economic Corridor.
  • Entrepreneur Arnaud Bertrand argues the initiative acts as "basically vendor lock-in," forcing nations to align export controls and AI regulations with Washington in exchange for "trusted partner" status.
  • Researcher Jacob Coxon from Anthropic warned earlier this month that AI development poses existential risks, stating "the people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade."
  • The Trump administration remains "full speed ahead" with Pax Silica, viewing control of rare-earth minerals as essential to technological supremacy in a new cold war with China.
