Oracle Summary

David Haber lands at 55/100 (moderate) for denial. Direct denial of structural displacement evidence. Claims AI-adopting companies are 'hiring most' contradicts the Comptroller's documented job loss projections. Uses productivity framing without addressing wage stagnation or labor quality degradation that typically accompanies techno-optimist narratives. Denies documented historical pattern of technology gains accruing to capital over labor.
