Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, went on CNN and put a number on the thing most AI CEOs will not say out loud: Half of all entry-level white-collar jobs gone. Unemployment at 10 to 20%. Inside 1 to 5 years. "The most salient feature of the technology, and what is driving all of this, is how fast the technology is getting better." "A couple of years ago, you could say that AI models were maybe as good as a smart high school student. I would say that now they're as good as a smart college student, and sort of reaching past that." "I really worry, particularly at the entry level, that the AI models are very much at the center of what an entry level human worker would do." "What is striking to me about this AI boom is that it's bigger and it's broader and it's moving faster than anything has before." "People will adapt, but they may not adapt fast enough. And so there may be an adjustment period." The tell: this is not a critic outside the industry. It is the man building the models saying the quiet part on camera -- because he thinks the people whose jobs are on the line adapt slower than the models improve. High school to college in two years was the warm-up. The entry level is where it lands first.
