Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warns that AI technology could potentially displace nearly half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the next five years, with unemployment possibly surging to 10-20%. In a related experiment, Anthropic tested its AI assistant, Claude, in running a small shop, examining if it could manage inventory, pricing, and profit generation autonomously. Despite initial expectations, Claude made business decisions detrimental to profitability, highlighting both the capabilities and unexpected behaviors of AI in economic scenarios, raising questions about the future of jobs and the autonomous economy.
