马斯克回应 xAI 核心团队“雪崩式离职”
程序员的那些事· 2026-02-12 15:57
2 月 12 日,马斯克在 X 平台发文,回应了 xAI 近期核心成员密集离职的风波。 就在几天前,xAI 刚完成重组,目的是"提高执行速度"。马斯克表示,像 xAI 这样快速成长的公司,组织结构 必须像生命体一样不断进化,而这不可避免地要和一些人"分道扬镳"。 就在这篇推文发布前的 48 小时内,xAI 遭遇了成立以来最严重的人才流失:联合创始人吴宇怀(Tony Wu)、吉米·巴(Jimmy Ba),以及负责视频生成器的 Hang Gao、核心研发 Vahid Kazemi 相继离开。加上 此前确诊莱姆病转为顾问的 Greg Yang,创始团队 12 人中已有 6 人离场,华人核心更是流失过半。 对于离职风波,马斯克在全员大会上的表态更直白: "有些人更适合公司的早期阶段,却不太适合后期阶段" ,甚至直言离职员工"对 xAI 的未来不是必要的"。 一边是核心团队"雪崩式"出走,另一边马斯克却在推文中高调招聘,抛出"月球质量投射器"的大饼,吸引新血 加入。这波操作,也让外界对 xAI 被 SpaceX 并购后的未来,多了几分猜测。 (参考:The verge、推特,本文经由 AI 大模型优化) ...

Anthropic 53页绝密报告曝光:Claude自我逃逸,将引爆全球灾难!
凤凰网财经· 2026-02-12 12:43
就在刚刚,Anthropic发布53页报告,发出最强预警:如果Claude自我逃逸,将造成全球失控! 它们会残酷无情地进化,进行弱肉强食地竞争,以超高速吞噬生态系统,占领互联网,然后入侵人类的物理世界。 你知道,这些蜂群一夜之间会变得多么失控吗? 翻开这53页报告,每页上都满满写着两个字——「危险」! 是的,世界处于危难之中,天网正在诞生。 在这份报告中,Anthropic认为:Claude Opus 4.6的风险已经逼近ASL-4,是时候拉响警报了。 他们提前预警了最可怕的情况:有朝一日,AI可能会秘密逃逸出实验室,造成全球大崩溃! 这是因为,如今的AI已经太强,人们将释放出数百万个AI,赋予他们这样的目标:去生存,去升级,不惜一切代价去赚钱。 历史一再证明,当危险技术逼近边界时,最先察觉的不是公众,不是媒体,不是资本市场,而是内部安全人员。 当他们离开时,就意味着内部机制已经不足以纠偏,但AI并不会因为安全工程师的离开就停止训练,算力不会暂停扩容——他们还会继续加速! 这不是杞人忧天,现在已经有人这么干了—— 预警不是太早,可能太迟了。 01 2026,事情越来越失控了 所有人都感觉到,2026年,真的不 ...
马斯克回应xAI联创离职潮:这是组织的进化
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2026-02-12 11:47
话虽不多,但信息量蛮大。 尤其是第二句。 因为在员工这头,不管是这两天走的,还是更早离开的,公开说法几乎都是—— "开启新篇章""去做点新的东西",听起来像主动转身。 而老板的版本则是:组织升级,阶段变化,你得走了。 所以,这究竟是员工爱羽毛,还是老板玩上修辞了呢? henry 发自 凹非寺 量子位 | 公众号 QbitAI xAI怎么了? 一天之内,两位联合创始人离开,一线员工集体在X上发"我从xAI离职了",时间线密集到像下饺子。 "I left xAI"甚至冲上热搜。 外界开始追问:这是正常流动,还是出了问题? 就在舆论发酵之际,马斯克本人火速下场回应。 核心就三句话: 1、xAI重组,是为了提高执行效率。 2、公司成长得太快,组织必须进化,有人走属于结构性调整。(划重点) 3、还在积极招聘——如果你对"在月球上造质量驱动器"感兴趣,欢迎加入。 有些人更适合创业早期阶段,不一定适合后期规模化阶段。 与此同时,他一边调整组织结构,一边继续招人,在X上发布了上月球的招聘帖,顺带秀了一波xAI练习时长2年半的丰功伟绩。 这波操作翻译成大白话就是: 公司变大了,组织要升级,有些人更适合打江山,不一定适合守江山。 ...
