AI coding will become one of these rare multitrillion-dollar markets

Oracle Summary

Sam Altman lands at 68/100 (heavy cope) for fantasy economics. Altman's 'multitrillion-dollar' framing is a self-serving market-size claim with no supporting data. It centers corporate opportunity while eliding structural displacement of software workers. The phrasing ('rare multitrillion-dollar market') is aspirational marketing dressed as prediction. No acknowledgment of productivity-paradox concerns, wage stagnation for coders, or AI's potential to hollow out middle-skill development work. Excludes labour from economic gains.
