Anthropic has laid out a worst-case AI economic scenario: the US economy could grow 32% by 2030 thanks to AI, yet almost none of those gains would flow to ordinary workers — benefits would concentrate in capital and a small group of AI-skilled people. The thread recaps the report's key points and offers practical advice for individuals: integrate AI into your own workflow now rather than waiting for retraining.
