News Summary

  • The phrase refers to people who will fall behind if they don't work at frontier AI labs or use the latest AI tools to advance their careers.
  • Acharya called the phrase a "funny dark fantasy" that shouldn't be taken seriously.
  • He said there are about 20 relevant players across every layer of the AI tech stack, not just two.
  • But he added that even outside tech and AI, for jobs like radiology, job listings are holding strong — so he doesn't see much evidence for there being a "permanent underclass"
Anish Acharya said fears of a permanent underclass forming because of AI arent rooted in reality.
