Dario Amodei Pivots on Jobs: From 'White-Collar Bloodbath' to Jevons Paradox Optimism

He acknowledged the critical caveat: 'AI is moving faster than all previous technologies,' creating potential for 'weird behaviors and big disruption.' The pivot signals a narrative shift as Anthropic courts enterprise customers sensitive to labor displacement messaging.
