Prediction

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, predicts that by 2026, the first billion-dollar solopreneur will emerge, leveraging AI tools to create a highly profitable business without the need for a large team.

My Thoughts

Tech CEOs are make a lot of predictions. I'm sure they do other things, too, but I mostly hear about their predictions. This one jumped out at me as a stretch. A billion-dollar solopreneur by the end of 2026? If that happens, it will rock the world of work. Knowing you can make a billion dollars by yourself... why hire anyone?
