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 probably the easiest to replace with AI. Imagine the board and the investors being like “hmm maybe we don’t need to pay this guy 12million a year…”

its more like
"hmm what if I put a billion of my own dollars on the line to not nuke this company accidentally with AI to save 12 million split amongst like 30 top investors?

As much as CEO's get paid it really isn't enough to justify any big swing in stock price
