If it is obvious to everyone that entry level white collar jobs (programmers, financial services, etc) are going away, why are we still importing H-1B visa migrants? 80% of H-1B visas go to "entry/junior" level white collar jobs. "AI could wipe out half of all entry level white collar jobs and spike unemployment to 20% in the next 1 to 5 years." "if we look at entry level [jobs] many of the white collar service industries ... AI models are already quite good at."

AI is everywhere, and most Americans feel like it's moving way too fast. Washington fumbled on Big Tech and social media. We can't make the same mistake with AI. This week, I'll announce two major policy proposals: one on AI and jobs, one on AI safety. What worries you most about AI?

Jennifer Welch: “The immigrants are coming to take your jobs and their names are Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. They are going to wipe out the entire workforce and replace it with AI jobs. Elon Musk, his whole identity is fighting against trans people, gay people, immigrants. He is a fucking immigrant.”

Despite the media fearmongering over a slight rise in inflation, the reality is the economy is booming. Maria Bartiromo: This idea of growth in AI and data centers is so enormous because it's going to actually create a whole new era of growth, creating construction jobs, AI and tech jobs, energy jobs.

Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei: "AI will wipe out half of all white collar jobs and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next 1-5 years." He's known for being honest (that's why he left OpenAI). He DGAF and doesn't sugar coat it like @Sama. He knows AI is net negative for growth.

Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt gets absolutely drowned out by boos at the University of Arizona when he starts hyping up AI. "Why are graduates booing AI? What they're hearing is that AI is going to take your jobs, and they're hearing about a lot of layoffs going on in tech." "So when this guy comes up, starts talking about AI, they immediately boo it."

Alex Karp (Palantir CEO) at Davos 2026 drops a blunt reality check on AI & jobs: “Philosophy majors from elite schools? That one is going to be hard to market. It was always hard to market.” He argues the real winners will be vocational technicians, battery builders, hands-on operators — people who can be rapidly upskilled into irreplaceable roles. White-collar foundations built on university degrees? Shaken. Karp: “There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, especially those with vocational training… These trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.” Larry Fink presses: Are we heading toward fewer white-collar jobs overall? Karp: Yes — but we need better ways to test real aptitude. Example: A former police officer with junior college now runs high-end global targeting for the U.S. Army via MAVEN. “Irreplaceable.” Watch the exchange. It’s raw. Your take: Is the university-to-white-collar pipeline overrated in the AI era? Or are vocational + aptitude-focused paths the future? Thoughts below.

Next up: Brad Lightcap, the COO of OpenAI: AI isn’t just a tech boom. It’s a blue-collar revival. We’re talking high-skill, high-paying jobs—built here in America. Not outsourced. Not theoretical. AI is driving real infrastructure, real investment, and real opportunity in parts of the country that have been left behind for years. This isn’t about replacing workers. It’s about rebuilding entire regions. Get it right, and this could be one of the most important economic shifts in modern U.S. history. Miss it—and someone else takes the lead.

Everyone is saying that AI is going to take all the jobs soon, but WHAT IF that's just not true? A new study shows that AI fails at 96% of all jobs. It raises serious questions about the high valuations we're seeing in AI. I made a video exploring the disconnect.

Steve Jobs was a great communicator of technology, and we could learn something from him today, in the context of AI. Sam Altman recently said, "If AI stays on the trajectory we think it will, then amazing things will be possible. Maybe with 10 gigawatts of compute, AI can figure out how to cure cancer." That's a fine quote. The abundance AI promises is super exciting. But Sam is saying that AI is going to figure out how to cure cancer. And if you've used these tools today, and talked to people who are at the labs, the reality is it's much more likely that humans will use AI to cure cancer. Steve might have said: "If AI stays on the trajectory we think it will, then amazing things will be possible. Maybe with 10 gigawatts of compute, humans can use AI to cure cancer." Small tweak, but a big difference. Steve Jobs was not one to shy away from impressive specs and massive scale, but flipping the final line from "AI will cure cancer" to "Humans will use AI to cure cancer" makes all the difference. Apple under Steve Jobs put human centrality at the heart of everything they did. And we need that spirit to infuse how we communicate about AI today.
