Dario Amodei has had a year to soften his most controversial prediction. He hasn’t. Sitting for a Bloomberg Originals profile filmed partly in a wood-panelled library and partly across Anthropic’s San Francisco haunts, the CEO was asked whether his now-infamous forecast\u2014that AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within one to five years\u2014still stood. He didn’t flinch. “I don’t know exactly, but I’m still pretty concerned. I’m still the same order of concern,” he said. When the interviewer pushed harder\u2014was the number still 50%, or had it climbed? \u2014Amodei declined to reset the figure but left no doubt the worry runs as deep as ever.What makes the consistency land is who’s saying it. This is the man whose company builds the very AI doing the displacing, repeating a warning most of his peers have spent recent months walking back. And it arrives at an awkwardly convenient moment: Anthropic is now valued near a trillion dollars and inching toward a public listing, which means every word Amodei says about the future of work is being read twice\u2014once as a warning, once as a sales pitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
