AI is not causing widespread job losses; connecting AI to layoffs is a 'lazy' narrative; there are no AI-proof degrees because AI will become universal across all fields

Oracle Summary

Jensen Huang lands at 67/100 (heavy cope) for denial. Huang directly denies established pattern of AI-driven job cuts, calling it 'lazy' while his company generates $215.9B selling the GPUs automating those same jobs. The article explicitly notes the 'incentive conflict' and documents workforce reductions across multiple sectors. This is denial of structural displacement while profiting from it—a clear case of narrative inversion and incentive-driven cope.
