# Sam Altman was WRONG

**[ThePrimeTime](https://daily.dev/sources/primeagen)** · 1 min read · 3 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

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.

The commentary frames this as a vindication for developers and a sign that the AI doom narrative around employment may have been overstated.
