Pretty sure that was snark

Ok. But why is that

From Axios:

Dario Amodei — CEO of Anthropic, one of the world's most powerful creators of artificial intelligence — has a blunt, scary warning for the U.S. government and all of us:

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.

Why it matters: Amodei, 42, who's building the very technology he predicts could reorder society overnight, said he's speaking out in hopes of jarring government and fellow AI companies into preparing — and protecting — the nation, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen write in a "Behind the Curtain" column.

Hardly anyone is paying attention. Lawmakers don't get it or don't believe it. CEOs are afraid to talk about it. Many workers won't realize the risks posed by the possible job apocalypse — until after it hits.

"Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen," Amodei told us. "It sounds crazy, and people just don't believe it."

I'm not sure I buy those high of numbers, but I do think it is going to make it harder and harder to gain experience for young people because entry level tasks are getting automated out.

Yea its tricky.  Younger grads have complained about it for awhile, but a lot of entry levels are busy work as you learn the business/job and how to function in a company/business/corporate setting.  People like to crap on those roles, but the truth of the matter is 95% of 22 year old grads aren't ready to step into a mid level role right away.  And it gives them sort of useful output while learning/observing whats needed to advance.  Otherwise you'd be paying people to sit around and sit in meetings doing nothing while they are ideally learning.

But AI is gonna start to chip away at so much of that lower level Excel/Powerpoint/PDF work.  And that sucks for future classes of new grads.

This story came up in my Google feed earlier this week.

IBM laid off 8,000 employees to replace them with AI, but what they didn't expect was having to rehire as many due to AI.

yeah, I have seen too many MBA straight from undergrad hired to SFA roles crash and burn.
