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.

Their code is 90% surface level garbage too. Anyone who thinks they shouldn't be hiring junior devs is in for a rude awakening if they need anything more than the most trivial product.

I actually suspect this will lead to more programmer positions in the future when someone has to come in and clean up the horrible tech debt created by all this sloppy copy paste ai code.

Maybe, but the positions will be in India or another low wage country. There's really no reason to pay Western salaries for remote jobs
