Anthropic CEO says AI could kill half of entry level jobs and push unemployment to 20 percent. Sam Altman funds the creation of genetically engineered children through AI and CRISPR

Anthropic CEO’s Prediction:

“AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in 1 to 5 years.”

Then why are we importing over 600,000 white collar foreigners annually?

Especially considering:

– 70 – 80% (~ 500k annually) are for entry & junior level jobs

– We’ve had 550,000 tech layoffs since 2022

– We have historic highs in US STEM unemployment & underemployment

We’ve stuck our kids in the back seat of a car, hurtling towards a cliff. Instead of Thelma & Louise driving, it’s the Four-Headed Monster:

1. Mass importation of foreign visa workers

2. Unbridled & accelerating offshoring

3. AI

4. Higher Ed Failures/ $1.8 trillion in student debt

AI isn’t slowing down.

We need:

– Moratorium on White Collar Visas

– Tariff Offshoring

– Investments in: Innovative Training Programs, Alternative Pathways to Jobs & Apprenticeships


OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman and his husband Oliver Mulherin have backed a controversial startup investing in genetically engineering babies to eliminate hereditary diseases.

The company, called Preventive, has raised $30 million and established its headquarters in San Francisco to address “devastating genetic conditions.”

Brian Armstrong, the chief executive of cryptocurrency platform Coinbase, is also investing alongside Altman and Mulherin, according to The Times.

Gene editing to create a baby is illegal in the US, UK, and many countries around the world, with critics arguing it is unethical and unsafe.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Preventive was considering using the United Arab Emirates to conduct tests, as it is a country where embryo editing is legal.

When people with that much power start testing banned ideas offshore, something’s drifting into a place nobody voted for.
