Summary
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei advises young people not to learn programming solely for job stability, as AI can already handle most programming tasks. He encourages cultivating critical thinking, because as AI's ability to generate content increases, the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood becomes more valuable.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei answered: Should we still learn programming?
Learning to code for job stability — you’re learning the wrong thing. AI is already doing it.
But if AI does 95% and you do 5%, your productivity still increases 20x.
