Ben Todd pushes back on claims that Dario Amodei has been wrong about job loss, resurfacing what the Anthropic CEO actually said in May 2025: AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and push unemployment to 10–20% within one to five years. Todd notes the clock started in 2026, not 2030.
