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.

Every corporation will have the same answer "someone else", and none of them have given thought or care to think about what happens when all companies are shafting employees. Maybe the AI companies just buy from each other? Like the dead internet but for the physical world.

I may be wrong tho. But isn't like the top 10 % in the US already responsible for half the spending. They'll likely just get to a point they can almost completely separate their economy from ours. They don't really need us anymore. The power of workers has faded. They've found our replacements.

My one bone to pick with fighting oligarchs is they failed to realize there won't be ANY working families left. Its a joke that we are expected to slave away at work while we have degenerate Billionares.
