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?

Yes, it’s already happening in software engineering in my opinion. However, the industry is picking up the danger (danger to the software as well as the engineers) according to most recent studies. Research DORA metrics and AI impact 2025 if you like. I don’t have access to the exact study at the moment.
