Anthropic 发布三情景经济模型，其 CEO 的悲观就业预测被归为极端情形

Anthropic published an economic model with three scenarios for the US economy through 2030. In the modest scenario, AI's impact resembles the internet's, with slight GDP growth and stable wages. The middle scenario doubles economic growth, but knowledge worker wages stagnate. Programmers and call center workers would need to move into jobs like electrician or nurse, a hard switch that pushes up unemployment. In the extreme scenario, output doubles every 4.5 years, knowledge worker unemployment hits 17.9 percent, and labor's share of GDP falls from 60 to 45 percent.

The fun part is where Amodei's own words land. He warned in May 2025 that up to half of all entry-level office jobs could vanish by 2030 and unemployment could hit 10 to 20 percent. Those numbers line up with the extreme scenario. So Anthropic's own model is recasting its CEO's predictions as the most unlikely outcome or, dare I say, alarmist. History hasn't been kind to tech executives confidently forecasting which jobs other people will lose.
