1. creating and marketing products that are explicitly trying to automate, if not entire professions, at least big parts of them

For example?

Most of the products they build seem to be tools rather than replacements.

I think I'd place less emphasis on the "creating" part and more emphasis on the "marketing" part. If Dario could shut up about how jobs are outdated, that would be nice. His quotes simply give more ammunition to incompetent CEOs trying to cut costs.

It also goes without saying that a certain segment of jobs are simply bullshit jobs that are prone to automation anyways. But without those jobs, you're also cutting off a segment of the population from the economy.

But do you have any example of Anthropic products that aim to replace workers?
It doesn't matter if they can or cannot. Every marketing copy in Anthropic is about replacing workers. Even their job listings state "This position may be replaced by AI within a year.".
