Anthropic Chief of Staff: These next 3 years might be the last few that I work


25. These next three years might be the last few years that I work.

As someone who at one point made money as a freelance writer and prided myself on my ability to write large amounts of content quickly, a skill which—like cutting blocks of ice from a frozen pond—is arguably obsolete, I find it hard not to notice these advances. Jobs that might fall into this category include counselors, doulas, caretakers for the elderly, babysitters, preschool teachers, priests and religious leaders, even sex workers—much has been made of AI girlfriends, but I still expect that a large percentage of buyers of in-person sexual services will have a strong preference for humans. Overall, there is a fair amount of support for a vaguely U-shaped trajectory of happiness based on age, meaning that older people tend to self-report as happier, particularly between 60 and 75, though gender and income also affect the exact shape.
