Amodei said AI companies and government need to stop "sugar-coating" what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs. So what do you do if you're a 45 year old civil engineer, for example. Your speciality revolves around environmental design or something similar where you are basically designing drainage systems for residential and office space? Where do you take your career? To me it's reminiscent of the 80s and early 90s when broadcasting companies decided it was "too expensive" to hire local announcers and it was easier to buy into automation systems, satellite networks and voice tracking. Leaving many smaller communities without local information sources. The same thing was happening with newspapers. Just one of the things I wonder about when I'm awake at 2 AM 1 Quote
