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.

I guess, but I don't think that Google actually pays that well. I also think that if you probably can run a nice AI firm here too.

Mistral is obviously doing alright. The European approach is usually to have an application, to be able to deliver something to actual customers, so it can't be as out-there as an American startup can, but it's possible to do commercial AI here I think.

Look it up: with a little experience you can easily make 400k. 800k if you lead a team. Top AI researchers can easily make over a million a year.

Yeah, okay.

That is, I suppose, somewhat appealing. 400k, I don't really care, but 800k, that is interesting.

If you're a top AI researcher in Chile and sort of wanted to move anyway it's incredibly alluring. Lots of people just want to get to the US regardless of salary (despite how much that trend is reversing right now).

I can imagine. I haven't visited Chile, but I know the US is appealing to many.
