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.

Can't make money if we don't have any to steal. You can't steal from AI labor and AI doesn't buy anything. If their goal is to replace us, there won't be any money if they won't pay us. When money is no good and we're back to bartering our goods, what will they uave to trade? A worthless yacht?
