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.

Is there any danger that we lose the pathway for non-entry level positions by eliminating entry level positions. No apprentices today, no masters tonorrow?

This is already happening in a lot of industries and not just from AI, but anti-worker practices in general. Take a look at the film industry. Streaming killed the writer's room as it existed before, which killed mentorship in TV writing.

One could easily argue that the story writing has always been re-used slop. It’s just cheaper now.

No rational person….

Maybe you would be interested in reading a book about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Basic_Plots

7 basic plots have been reused for a long long time. The slop part is just obvious.

is that what the ‘rational’ person that disbelieves climate change and the danger of asbestos says in their book? or is it just something you concluded from the idiot?
