• 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.

He seems surprised that working at the FBI takes commitment and a lot of hours of hard work. Or maybe he just is bored because he legit sits in his office staring at the walls until time to go home?
