‘How Long Do We Have?' Nithin Kamath On AI Threat To India's White-Collar Jobs
Last Updated: New information shared by Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath shows a clear warning: Artificial intelligence can now handle longer and more complicated tasks than ever before. Artificial intelligence isn't merely progressing; it's accelerating at a breakneck speed, posing a significant challenge to India's service-based economy. According to new insights from Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath, AI systems are increasingly capable of managing longer and more intricate tasks than ever before. This rapid evolution means many jobs traditionally performed by humans could soon become obsolete. It raises urgent questions about what the future holds for employment in the country. On X (formerly Twitter), Nithin Kamath posted two images – one chart shows that the length of tasks AI can complete at a 50 per cent rate is doubling every seven months. Just a few years ago, earlier models like GPT-2 were limited to handling only brief, simple queries lasting seconds. Today, GPT-4o can sustain performance for nearly an hour. The most advanced systems, such as Sonnet 3.7, are already managing complex, multi-hour assignments like training image classifiers—tasks that have moved beyond experimental phases and are becoming true substitutes for human work. A second, more concerning chart tracks AI's accuracy across different task lengths and complexities. For short and simple tasks, leading models now achieve over 90 per cent accuracy. Even more complicated and ambiguous challenges, once thought to be beyond AI's capabilities, are now seeing significant improvements. Only the most difficult category—long, complicated tasks—still lags with less than 30 per cent success. However, that gap is steadily closing. One user remarked, 'It's hard to predict, but it feels like we're nearing a major turning point." Another added, 'Not much time left, but ultimately this progress will improve our lives. It could lead to sustainable abundance and even communism—after all, capitalism is paving the way." A different commenter emphasised the importance of adaptability, saying, 'As long as people keep reskilling and adding value to their organizations, they'll stay relevant." Meanwhile, someone else reassured others by pointing out, 'There's still plenty of time because AI relies heavily on human knowledge as middleware." The discussion highlighted a mix of concern and cautious optimism about the future impact of AI. First Published:

For Some Recent Graduates, the AI Job Apocalypse may Already be Here
HighlightsUnemployment for recent college graduates has risen to 5.8%, with a notable increase in job displacement due to advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly in technical fields like finance and computer science. Many companies are adopting an 'AI-first' approach, with some executives reporting a halt in hiring for lower-level positions as artificial intelligence tools can now perform tasks that previously required human employees. Dario Amodei, Chief Executive Officer of Anthropic, has predicted that artificial intelligence could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years. This month, millions of young people will graduate from college and look for work in industries that have little use for their skills, view them as expensive and expendable, and are rapidly phasing out their jobs in favour of artificial intelligence. That is the troubling conclusion of my conversations over the past several months with economists, corporate executives and young job seekers, many of whom pointed to an emerging crisis for entry-level workers that appears to be fuelled, at least in part, by rapid advances in AI capabilities. You can see hints of this in the economic data. Unemployment for recent college graduates has jumped to an unusually high 5.8% in recent months, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently warned that the employment situation for these workers had 'deteriorated noticeably.' Oxford Economics, a research firm that studies labour markets, found that unemployment for recent graduates was heavily concentrated in technical fields like finance and computer science, where AI has made faster gains. 'There are signs that entry-level positions are being displaced by artificial intelligence at higher rates,' the firm wrote in a recent report. But I'm convinced that what's showing up in the economic data is only the tip of the iceberg. In interview after interview, I'm hearing that firms are making rapid progress toward automating entry-level work and that AI companies are racing to build 'virtual workers' that can replace junior employees at a fraction of the cost. Corporate attitudes toward automation are changing, too — some firms have encouraged managers to become 'AI-first,' testing whether a given task can be done by AI before hiring a human to do it. One tech executive recently told me his company had stopped hiring anything below an L5 software engineer — a mid-level title typically given to programmers with three to seven years of experience — because lower-level tasks could now be done by AI coding tools. Another told me that his startup now employed a single data scientist to do the kinds of tasks that required a team of 75 people at his previous company. Anecdotes like these don't add up to mass joblessness, of course. Most economists believe there are multiple factors behind the rise in unemployment for college graduates, including a hiring slowdown by big tech companies and broader uncertainty about President Donald Trump's economic policies. But among people who pay close attention to what's happening in AI, alarms are starting to go off. 'This is something I'm hearing about left and right,' said Molly Kinder, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, a public policy think tank, who studies the impact of AI on workers. 'Employers are saying, 'These tools are so good that I no longer need marketing analysts, finance analysts and research assistants.'' Using AI to automate white-collar jobs has been a dream among executives for years. (I heard them fantasising about it in Davos back in 2019.) But until recently, the technology simply wasn't good enough. You could use AI to automate some routine back-office tasks — and many companies did — but when it came to the more complex and technical parts of many jobs, AI couldn't hold a candle to humans. That is starting to change, especially in fields, such as software engineering, where there are clear markers of success and failure. (Such as: Does the code work or not?) In these fields, AI systems can be trained using a trial-and-error process known as reinforcement learning to perform complex sequences of actions on their own. Eventually, they can become competent at carrying out tasks that would take human workers hours or days to complete. This approach was on display last week at an event held by Anthropic, the AI company that makes the Claude chatbot. The company claims that its most powerful model, Claude Opus 4, can now code for 'several hours' without stopping — a tantalising possibility if you're a company accustomed to paying six-figure engineer salaries for that kind of productivity. AI companies are starting with software engineering and other technical fields because that's where the low-hanging fruit is. (And, perhaps, because that's where their own labour costs are highest.) But these companies believe the same techniques will soon be used to automate work in dozens of occupations, ranging from consulting to finance to marketing. Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, recently predicted that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. That timeline could be wildly off, if firms outside tech adopt AI more slowly than many Silicon Valley companies have, or if it's harder than expected to automate jobs in more creative and open-ended occupations where training data is scarce.

Anthropic co-founder Jared Kaplan says Claude access for Windsurf was cut because of OpenAI
Anthropic co-founder Jared Kaplan has confirmed that Anthropic deliberately cut Windsurf's direct access to its Claude models due to ongoing reports that OpenAI plans to acquire Windsurf. Kaplan's reasoning is that 'it would be odd for us to be selling Claude to OpenAI' through a third party. In this case, it is response and confirmation comes after Windsurf CEO Varun Mohan publicly slammed Anthropic for cutting off Windsurf's first-party access to Claude 3.x models with less than a week's notice, forcing the popular AI-native IDE (short for Integrated Development Environment) to make last-minute adjustments for its user base. This was not a one-off incident either. Earlier, Anthropic had barred Windsurf users from accessing the new Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 models on day one of was widely speculated that the purported OpenAI acquisition would be a big bone of contention, since logic dictates that Anthropic may not want OpenAI – a competing AI brand – to have any type of open window to its user data which it could then use to train its own ChatGPT models. Kaplan has basically admitted to this conspiracy theory, giving a bit of an insight into Anthropic's core reasoning behind – what some might call – severing ties with a platform used by over a million developers globally. There are two reasons. One is that Anthropic – like any other company – would want to focus on long-term customers, those it can have long-term partnerships with. Secondly, it won't be smart to spend resources – meaning compute – which is limited to clients that may or may not be around in the near did not address the elephant in the room, which is whether it was okay with OpenAI getting access to its data if it ends up buying Windsurf, as per reports. Obviously, he did not make any comment on where the industry would go if this became a common practice, just like he did not say if Windsurf users should expect uninterrupted access to Claude without Anthropic keys anytime CEO Varun Mohan has called it a 'short-term' issue, hinting that discussions are probably on for some middle ground. In the meantime, Windsurf is actively working to bring new capacity online while launching a promotional scheme for Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro, offering it at 0.75x its original price. Also, it has implemented a "bring-your-own-key" (BYOK) system for Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 as well as for the Claude 3.x models, while removing direct access for free users and those on Pro plan trials.'We have been very clear to the Anthropic team that our priority was to keep the Anthropic models as recommended models and have been continuously willing to pay for the capacity,' Mohan said in a blog post, adding that 'We are concerned that Anthropic's conduct will harm many in the industry, not just Windsurf.'
