⚠️ Anthropic Says the AI Layoffs Start Now

Jobs, browsers, and the stars — AI is everywhere now.

Welcome, AI Insiders!

Dario Amodei just dropped a bombshell: Anthropic expects AI to wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. While workers stay distracted, Grok is scaling to a billion users, browsers are becoming agents, and China is using AI to predict cosmic disasters. The future isn’t optional anymore. It’s scheduled.

In today’s Generative AI Newsletter:

  • Anthropic predicts mass job losses from AI automation

  • Grok expands to 1B users through Telegram partnership

  • Opera launches Neon, an AI-native browsing experience

  • China’s FLARE AI redefines astrophysics with predictive reasoning

Special highlight from our network

OpenAI Shattered Search. RAD Intel Owns What’s Next – and up 1600%

OpenAI changed how we search. RAD Intel is changing how brands profit from it. Backed by Adobe and Fidelity, RAD’s AI predicts what content will perform—before a dollar is spent. Fortune 1000 brands like Hasbro and MGM are seeing up to 3.5x ROI. Shares are $0.60 until May 29. NASDAQ ticker: $RADI. 

🚨 Anthropic CEO: Half of White-Collar Jobs at Risk

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just issued a stark warning: AI could erase 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs in five years, with unemployment spiking to 20%. From coding to consulting, he says most people are still in denial and calls for urgent action before it’s too late.

Key developments:

  • AI will write 90% of software code within six months, and nearly all code within a year

  • Finance, law, and consulting will face major disruption, especially at the entry level

  • Amodei says most workers are “unaware this is about to happen”

  • He proposed better AI training, public awareness, and a “token tax” on AI companies

  • Urged Congress to stop ignoring the threat: “You can’t stop the train, but you can steer it”

While Big Tech races to deploy AI across every workflow, few are speaking this bluntly about the cost. Amodei’s warning echoes those from Kai-Fu Lee and LinkedIn’s own economic team. AI outperforming new hires, the focus shifts: adapt the economy, not just the tools.

🚀 Grok Nears Billion-User Reach with Telegram

xAI has signed a one-year partnership with Telegram, bringing its Grok chatbot to the app’s 1B+ users starting this summer. The agreement gives Telegram a major cash injection and embeds Grok across its entire messaging ecosystem, expanding xAI’s reach far beyond X.

Key details:

  • Telegram will receive $300M in cash and equity from xAI

  • 50% revenue split on all Grok subscriptions purchased in Telegram

  • Grok will be integrated directly into chat search, pinning, avatars, writing tools, and doc summaries

  • User data shared with Grok will be limited to direct interactions only

This is a massive distribution and monetization milestone for xAI, positioning Grok as a cross-platform AI presence rather than just an X exclusive. Deals like this mark a new phase where chatbots compete not just on intelligence, but territory.

🖥️ Opera Unveils Neon, an AI-First Browser

Opera just launched Neon, a bold new browser built around AI agents that automate web tasks, generate content, and even write code from natural language prompts. Touted as the first “AI agentic browser,” it marks Opera’s biggest leap in decades.

Key details:

  • Neon’s native AI agent handles web searches, summaries, and contextual assistance

  • Automates routine tasks like bookings, form-filling, and online shopping

  • Cloud-based agents can create games, websites, and code — even while you’re offline

  • Premium subscription model, with early access now open via waitlist

This is Opera’s shot at relevance in a browser space dominated by Google and Apple. With rumors swirling around OpenAI and Perplexity launching browsers, the market is heating up fast. Whoever builds the first browser that feels like an AI teammate, not a tool, could reshape how we interact with the internet entirely.

🌌 China’s FLARE AI Can Predict Stellar Eruptions

Developed by teams at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, FLARE, a new AI model can accurately predict stellar flares, bursts of energy from stars that can shape planetary atmospheres and hint at habitability. FLARE uses advanced prompt tuning and fusion techniques to forecast eruptions.

Key details:

  • Built by CAS Institute of Automation and CAS National Astronomical Observatories

  • Runs on China’s integrated AI platform ScienceOne

  • Uses novel architecture combining soft prompts and flare record fusion

  • Adapts across stars, even predicting different flare patterns for the same star

  • Accepted at IJCAI-2025, one of AI’s top global conferences

FLARE could boost our understanding of stellar magnetic activity and the habitability of distant exoplanets, giving astronomers a new tool to explore space weather and life-supporting conditions. AI is quickly becoming essential to astrophysics, compressing years of observation into moments of machine reasoning.
