but exactly those same kind of skills things like summarizing a document brainstorming putting together a financial report makes me worry a lot that entry-level jobs in areas like finance consulting um tech uh many many other areas like that entry-level white-collar work

I worry that those things are going to be first augmented, but before long replaced by AI systems.

And that we may indeed, it's hard to predict the future, but we may indeed have a serious employment crisis.

Smithies, are they booing me?

No, they're saying boo-erns.

Boo-erns.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amadei says in a statement his company received a letter from the Pentagon declaring it a supply chain risk.

Anthropic makes the popular AI chatbot Claude, and it's been in a dispute with the Department of Defense over how its AI models can be used.

Anthropic is uncomfortable with the Pentagon potentially being able to use its AI for mass surveillance of Americans and for fully autonomous weapons.

The Pentagon has sought permission for all legal uses.

According to Amadei, the Pentagon's action has a narrow scope and the vast majority of Anthropic's clients are unaffected.

Amadei says Anthropic does not believe the designation to be legal and has no choice but to challenge it in court, although he says there have been productive discussions.

Anthropix AI tools are currently being used on classified systems.

The company has a $200 million contract with the Defense Department.
