The employment report says interactive agents operated by employees logged six times as many hours as employees in August. During the same period, entry-level technical roles made up a smaller share of hiring. Contract volume, deals closed, and code written per person also rose (How employment is changing at Anthropic).
Attention has become a constraint: reviewing all output from Claude agents would take half a workweek, including for non-technical staff (How employment is changing at Anthropic).
An August survey asked whether AI could take over 80% or more of a person's work by 2030. Only 5% of U.S. workers agreed, compared with more than half of Anthropic employees. On whether AI could make Nobel-level discoveries by then, 91% of employees said yes, versus 39% of U.S. adults (The AI expectations gap).
