AI could eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs and AI companies should pay an 'AI tax' to fund worker displacement support

Oracle Summary

Dario Amodei lands at 8/100 (lucid) for lucid. Amodei's statements exhibit low copium because they directly acknowledge the severity of AI-driven job displacement (50% of entry-level white-collar jobs) and explicitly call for policy solutions including taxation of AI companies and support programs like UBI. This represents structural acknowledgment rather than denial, deflection, or comfort narratives. No scapegoating, magical thinking, or policy avoidance present.
