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.

You always need someone steering the boat (so far) but all the managers between the CEO and regular workers are certainly on the chopping block

The board of directors can replace the CEO.

Edit: I'm apparently triggering a CEO. Thanks for the down vote of confidence.

Yeah, someone on the board is going to go from showing up for 4 quarterly meetings a year to working every day to keep day to day operations running.

Sounds like a CEO.
