Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei : “Software is going to become cheap, maybe essentially free.
The premise that you need to amortize a piece of software you build across millions of users, that may start to be false.
But at the same time, there are whole jobs, whole careers that we’ve built for decades that may not be present.
And, you know, I think we can deal with it. I think we can adjust to it. But I don’t, I don’t think there’s an awareness at all of what, of what is coming here and the magnitude of it.“
