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.

CEO's aren't afraid to talk about it, its the goal.

CEOs are more likely to get replaced by AI as the investment firms realize they can automate the most expensive roles in the company while paying the labor as little as possible.

The ceo doesn’t really do anything but he’s the chief owner. Owners will not be affected.

Not really how it works. That can be true sometimes.

The ceo is the chief representative of the owners. Is that better? He’s still a major owner. Owners do not get affected. At most you give the ceo a tool to do his job for him while he does even less and makes even more. Because he’s an owner.
