Anthropic's CEO says that in 3 to 6 months, AI will be writing 90% of the code software developers were in charge of

  • Dario Amodei, the cofounder and CEO of Anthropic, says AI could be coding most software soon.
  • AI could be "writing essentially all of the code" in 12 months, Amodei said.
  • Amodei said he expected AI to have a similar impact "in every industry."

Dario Amodei, the CEO of AI startup Anthropic, said on Monday that AI, and not software developers, could be writing most of the code in our software in a year.

"I think we will be there in three to six months, where AI is writing 90% of the code. And then, in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code," Amodei said at a Council of Foreign Relations event on March 10.

Amodei said software developers will still have a role to play in the near term. This is because humans will have to feed the AI models with design features and conditions, he said.

"But on the other hand, I think that eventually all those little islands will get picked off by AI systems. And then, we will eventually reach the point where the AIs can do everything that humans can. And I think that will happen in every industry," Amodei said.

Amodei, who used to work at OpenAI, cofounded Anthropic in 2021. The company has received billions of dollars in funding from tech giants like Google and Amazon.

This isn't the first time Amodei has spoken publicly about the seismic impact AI could have on the world.

Last month, Amodei said in an interview with The New York Times that people still aren't recognizing the effect AI could have on their lives and livelihoods.

"I think people will wake up to both the risks and the benefits to a much more extreme extent than they will before over the next two years," Amodei said in an interview on the Times' "Hard Fork" podcast, which aired on February 28.

Representatives for Amodei at Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

To be sure, Amodei isn't the only one who has recognized AI's ability to displace software developers.

Garry Tan, the president and CEO of startup incubator Y Combinator, said in an X post on March 5 that one-quarter of the founders in their 2025 winter batch were relying heavily on AI to code their software.

"For 25% of the Winter 2025 batch, 95% of lines of code are LLM generated. That's not a typo," Tan wrote.

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said last year that she expected AI to impact roughly 40% of global jobs.

"Roughly half the exposed jobs may benefit from AI integration, enhancing productivity. For the other half, AI applications may execute key tasks currently performed by humans, which could lower labor demand, leading to lower wages and reduced hiring," Georgieva wrote in a blog post in January 2024.

"In the most extreme cases, some of these jobs may disappear," she added.

Tiger Woods Is Reportedly Dating Donald Trump Jr.’s Ex-Wife Vanessa Trump

13 March 2025 at 16:57

Tiger Woods is reportedly dating Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, according to multiple outlets.

The professional golfer, 49, has been β€œquietly dating” Vanessa, 47, for β€œseveral months,” People reported on Thursday, March 13. The Daily Mail, which was first to report the news, claimed Woods and Vanessa have been together since Thanksgiving 2024. The pair both reside in Florida where their children reportedly attend the same school.

Woods has had several high-profile relationships since he turned pro in 1996. He married model Elin Nordegren in 2004 and the couple welcomed two children, daughter Sam and son Charlie, in 2007 and 2009, respectively.

Woods and Nordegren, 45, split in 2010 after the athlete’s affair with mistress Rachel Uchitel came to light.

Tiger Woods’ Dating History: The Golfer’s Marriage, Mistresses and More

Us Weekly confirmed in February 2013 that Woods had begun dating Lindsey Vonn after first meeting at a charity event one year prior. The pair dated for three years before calling it quits in May 2015.

Woods’ latest relationship came in 2017 when he was linked to Erica Herman. News broke in March 2023 that Woods and Herman, 41, broke up after she filed court documents attempting to nullify the NDA she signed at the start of the relationship. (She dropped the suit later that year.)

Vanessa, meanwhile, met Donald Jr., 47, in 2003 during a fashion show in New York City. They tied the knot two years later in November 2005.

Donald Jr. and Vanessa went on to welcome five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe, in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014, respectively.

Vanessa filed for divorce from Donald Jr. in March 2018 after 12 years of marriage.

At the time, a source exclusively told Us that the pair’s relationship got β€œrocky” when President Donald Trump began his first election campaign. β€œVanessa is very close to her family and very private and does not like all this attention on her family,” the insider alleged. β€œThey’ve been unhappy for a while.”

As Vanessa and Donald Jr. sorted out their divorce, Us confirmed that he had cheated on Vanessa with Aubrey O’Day back in 2011. The businessman hooked up with O’Day, 41, after the two met on season 5 of The Celebrity Apprentice.

Donald Jr. and O’Day’s affair lasted until March 2012, when Vanessa discovered his infidelity via a series of emails between them.

Vanessa and Donald Jr. were reportedly separated when the affair began. They reconciled and welcomed fourth and fifth children before splitting for good in 2018.

This $20 Natural Deodorant Duo Keeps You Smelling Fresh β€” Even in Scorching Heat

13 March 2025 at 16:30

Thanks to my maternal genetics and intense high-school athletics, I’ve been wearing men’s deodorant since I was a teenager. Mostly brand loyal, I occasionally shop around when I want to switch up scents or act on a sale.

In my experience, men’s deodorant has proven to work better than its female-marketed counterparts, and if you enjoy gender neutral or subtly masculine scents, it smells just as good. In sum, I have no qualms about using products targeted toward men.

What I do have qualms about is using items that aren’t good for me or the environment. That’s why the Blu Atlas aluminum-free deodorant β€” sold alongside the company’s exfoliating bar soap β€” caught my attention. It’s intense enough to neutralize all body odor yet made with natural ingredients, including bamboo extract and sage leaf.

Get the Blu Atlas Everyday Body Duo for $20 at Blu Atlas!

Featuring the brand’s popular aluminum-free deodorant and exfoliating bar soap, Blu Atlas’ Everyday Body Duo costs as low as $20 when you subscribe and save. If you’ve ever tried natural (aka aluminum-free) deodorant, you understand the struggle of maintaining a fresh scent. The common culprit of body odor when switching to a natural deodorant is not properly detoxing your pits. Exfoliating the underarms is key, hence the included bar soap containing jojoba beads, aloe and shea butter to leave pits feeling β€” and smelling β€” oh, so fresh. Bye-bye, buildup!

Blu Atlas proudly boasts that its items are made with 96% natural materials (think plants, fruits and minerals). Hence, the β€œclassic” deodorant and soap scent is a luxurious blend of fruit- and plant-derived ingredients, including bergamot, sage and patchouli.

Both designed for daily use, the deodorant can neutralize odor for up to 48 hours, and the bar of soap exfoliates and hydrates pits all at once.

The deodorant, which has nearly 170 reviews and 4.7 stars, is a fan-favorite. One repeat buyer says, β€œI have been using Blu Atlas deodorant for nearly a year. It has a great scent and lasts all day in the hot summers in [Arizona], that says a lot. This is on the top of my list for deodorants.”

The exfoliating bar soap has an even higher star rating of 4.8. One satisfied customer says, β€œThe bar lathered up very well. It was thick and rich and smelled great. It rinsed off easily and left my skin feeling soft, cleaned and moisturized. My skin dried off with the towel as expected, and my skin still felt moist.”

Although the deodorant and soap can be purchased separately, buying the products as a duoΒ saves you considerable money and spares you the hassle of ordering twice. Plus, you can even subscribe and save on recurring deliveries. I’m so excited to have sniffed out this amazing deal!

Rachel Zegler Has a Princess Moment in Romantic Gown at β€˜Snow White’ Event

13 March 2025 at 16:27

Rachel Zegler channeled her inner princess in a romantic ballgown.

Zegler, 23, looked as elegant as ever in a white Elie Saab gown at a Snow White photocall in Segovia, Spain, on Wednesday, March 12. The graceful number featured a square neckline, delicate straps, a beaded fitted bodice and a fit-and-flare skirt equipped with 3-D flowers. The actress, who plays Snow White in Disney’s live-action movie, teamed the getup with silver platform heels by Jimmy Choo.

Zegler tied her look together with diamond earrings by Chiffon Co. Staying true to her character, she accessorized with a red apple clutch strung on a silver chain.

Her glam, courtesy of Allan AvendaΓ±o and Ruby Vo, was just as noteworthy. Zegler donned a full beat, including smoked-out eyeshadow, black eyeliner, long wispy eyelashes, rosy cheeks and bright pink lips. Clayton Hawkins twisted her brunette hair into a half-up coif with her face-framing pieces worn down and loosely curled.
