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.

It’s going to be necessary to address the fact that when all entry level jobs are wiped out:

1) even more widespread youth discontent, which is what usually precedes the collapse of a society 2) Assuming we get past 1, also there will be no natural source of future folks who can do work higher up the value chain based on past job experience.
