Dario Amodei AI jobs claim and Anthropic IPO talk
by Kelsey7f: Dario Amodei
Back in February the question was who actually benefits when everyone's scared of AI. Now Dario Amodei is saying the tech could erase half of entry-level white-collar positions in one to five years, and Anthropic is prepping an IPO targeting a valuation above $2 trillion. The clip's read: those claims conveniently serve his own company, a lot of it is alchemy dressed up to rationalize behavior that makes no dollar sense, and the fear gets manufactured because without it none of the math works. Valuations and fundraising sitting on assumptions nobody proved, decisions made on emotion with logic bolted on after. Scare first, justify later #DarioAmodei

And Topic is going public this year, correct, Ben? Something like that. I think they're trying to. Yeah, they're trying to go public this year. So we have mentioned that, right? He's making big claims and that is to the benefit potentially of his own company. A lot of this is alchemy, brother. Like, because they need a story to rationalize irrational behavior, right? And so you need to manufacture this to then get everyone to feel like this, to put the money where they need it. So like, I think a lot of this stuff happens, but I think you also have to be very aware of like how much they need everyone to be afraid. Because they're doing stuff that makes no sense. It doesn't make dollar sense. It doesn't make people sense. It makes no freaking sense. So you have to scare the shit out of everyone because it's the only way this could possibly make sense. And so why does it not make sense? They're not making money. They're banging all of this on what everyone, they're trying to convince everyone that what they're saying is going to happen will happen. And that's the only lens where any of this makes sense, right? It's always the assumption of like, when this happens, you haven't even proven it can happen. The reality is valuations of these companies, the amount of money that's being raised is 100% based upon a reality that is not necessarily the case. It is purely emotion, right? Because people make decisions based on emotion and then they attempt to back it up with logic, right? We're seeing that happen in real time. Get people scared. And then once they're there, hit them with the logic. It sails every single time.
