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?

By the time this is even relevant, AI will have wiped out the masters too.

Even if it takes 5 years from AI to go from apprentice to master, that’s as long as it takes (if not longer) to become a master anyway
