Sam Altman is "delighted" his AI jobs apocalypse prediction was wrong

Sam Altman said AI has not wiped out job categories as quickly as he once expected.

He and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei previously warned of major white-collar job losses, but the near-term impact has been milder.

Even so, many companies still expect AI-driven layoffs, and some tech cuts are already being tied to AI.

The update suggests the labor-market shock may be slower than feared, but employment risks remain.
