AI disrupts humanities-trained workers, making their economic power less while increasing power for vocationally trained, working-class, often male workers

Oracle Summary

Alex Karp lands at 45/100 (moderate) for scapegoating. Karp frames AI displacement as deliberate political strategy rather than structural economic outcome.
