Anthropic CEO says AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs

What is the upside for an AI company to make statements like this? Does it actually result in net gain for the value of Anthropic?

AI companies are not run by people who care about profits by the way. Their goal is something entirely different.

What is their ultimate goal in your opinion? I actually think it is indeed profits and company valuation.

here is what they say about what they are building

a C-Corp (more common eg Google) is an organization whose ultimate goal is profit and valuation.

OpenAI is controlled by a non profit which is prohibited by law from distributing profits to individual shareholders whose mission is "AGI that benefits all of humanity"

Anthropic is a Public Benefit Corporation whose mission is to create "Safe and reliable AI aligned with human values"

(where Human values is a euphemism for western liberal academic values)
