Anthropic just published the most important study on AI and jobs.

The researchers call it a "Great Recession for white-collar workers."

It maps out EXACTLY which jobs AI is actively performing right now vs. which ones it COULD perform.

If individuals in business management aren’t paying attention, there’s gonna be a a lot of pink slips and massive reduction in your jobs.

The top two sectors are amongst the highest paying sectors in existence. What this means for the American economy, which is supported by consumer spending where 60% of it is sustained from the top 10% income brackets, is the wholesale elimination of the very people who sustained America’s consumer driven economy.

@FluentInFinance I want to know if they got an AI to generate that graph and what type of AI they are referring to. Since Anthropic has an LLM, I'm going to assume that type. There's no way they could possibly understand those jobs well enough to get a stats model that predicts language patterns to complete basic tasks accurately and consistently. Especially when it still struggles with how many b's in blueberry.
@FluentInFinance I don’t see CEO on the chart.

This is actually all "Hype Train" BS from a company that just took a big PR hit

(So as not to spam you), I'll write out a longer post about this later, but TL;DR - the "output" for the things that these companies "think" the bots can do is actively, oppressively bad..
- the only way to make it "any better" is to have highly paid (Senior) staff micro managing bots to such an extent that it would have been cheaper to pay them to just do the work in the first place

Ironically, (a lot of) the "manual labor" jobs that they are showing as not "vulnerable" to AI here... would actually be very vulnerable to being replaced by ML and robotics...

Example, (a lot of) "Grounds Maintenance" could be outsourced to machines +ML (that aren't *Fake* 'AI')... but 100's of years of specialty labor has 'optimized' them for fossil fuel powered machines, not renewable electrification...
Which ML would require for large scale rollout
