After a few days away for our work retreat in Kigali, the Techloy team is fully back at our desks and catching up on everything we missed while we were busy exploring, eating, and competing over team games.
The tech world, meanwhile, didn't wait for us.
In this week's issue:
- The Anthropic researcher who quit over AI safety concerns
- Apple's $1,999 foldable and the missing iPhone 18
- Why we chose Kigali for our retreat.
- Plus, opportunities worth applying for, what's happening in the Techloy community, and what's on our radar.
See you next week!

🚀 BIG STORY
🔐 An Anthropic researcher quit because he thinks AI labs are moving too fast
By David Adubiina
Jacob Coxon spent three years researching AI at OpenAI and Anthropic before leaving Anthropic this week, accusing both labs of racing toward capable AI without taking the risks seriously enough. One current Anthropic researcher publicly agreed with parts of his concern, saying, "...we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans!" How worried should we be, if the people building AI are this concerned?

📱 Apple made its $1,999 iPhone. But you give up more than money
Apple's first foldable is finally here, but the $1,999 iPhone Duo isn't simply a bigger, more expensive iPhone. It drops Face ID for Touch ID, loses the Pro's telephoto camera, and gives you less battery life when you're using the big screen. You're paying $800 more than the iPhone 18 Pro for a phone that actually does some things worse.
