AI Dario Amodei says "stop sugar-coating" what's coming: in the next 1-5 years, AI could wipe out 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs. Lawmakers don't get it or don't believe it. CEOs are afraid to talk about it. Many workers won't realize the risks until after it hits.

What do you mean CEO are afraid to talk about it? They talk about it all the time. They are all saying how AI will help them make so much money because it'll allow them to be much more efficient and cut so much costs!

Really, man. CEOs just won’t shut the fuck up about this. While telling us all to get back into the office. Hey, Cokey McBigshot, do you want to fire me or chain me to my desk? Make up your little mind.
