Sam Altman used to warn that AI would wipe out most jobs. Now he's saying he was wrong — and he's happy about it. But should you believe him?
We break down what's actually happening: the Atlanta Fed data showing 90%+ of firms untouched, the Jevons Paradox and why efficiency doesn't mean fewer jobs, Jensen Huang's PR push, and whether the job apocalypse narrative was always overblown — or if we're just being managed.
Plus: Anthropic is hiring more people, not less. A study of 2,400 companies found 80% of AI token usage goes toward fixing AI's own mistakes. And the real question nobody's asking — are we performing better, or just more?
Topics covered:
- Sam Altman's reversal on AI job displacement
- Jevons Paradox explained
- Coinbase's 700 layoffs — AI or pandemic overhiring?
- Jensen Huang's public relationship strategy
- Anthropic's hiring surge
- Individual productivity: are we actually better or just busier?
