Sam Altman was WRONG

Sam Altman has walked back his earlier predictions about AI causing a job apocalypse, now stating he doesn't believe widespread white-collar job elimination will happen at the scale he once feared. He acknowledges that human interaction and competent developers remain essential to building great products, and implicitly takes a jab at Anthropic for being more alarmist about job displacement. The commentary frames this as a vindication for developers and a sign that the AI doom narrative around employment may have been overstated.
