  • AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years, Amodei told us in an interview from his San Francisco office.
  • Amodei said AI companies and government need to stop "sugar-coating" what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs.
We’re already living through an economic and sociopolitical unraveling. The sudden injection of many very capable AI models, like we’ve seen in the last 3-5 years, is going to be a big accelerant on top of the rising fascist authoritarianism.

The bourgeoise is restless and it’s going to get much worse, IMO.

I got a couple of friends working in BI and a couple in programming gigs. One is working on a math teaching credential, one is joining the family business, one is pondering law school [cringe], and one is whistling. All are confident they won’t have jobs in the industry in five years, even the whistling one.
