Ben Todd pushes back on claims that Dario Amodei was wrong about AI-driven job loss, quoting his May 2025 statement: "AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and push unemployment to 10–20% within one to five years."
The key point: the prediction window begins in 2026, not 2030 — so it's too early to call it wrong.
