Now, specific predictions-wise, Anthropic's CEO, Amodi, who we were just talking about, he said a while ago that AI was likely to lead to roughly 20% unemployment in white-collar jobs in the next year or two.

So...
If he's even directionally correct, and let's say it's only 10%, that is still psychotically disruptive.

20%?
5X?

Dude, it is cataclysmic.
The jobs in 25 were horrifyingly low.
And the only question is why, what is going on?
