AI job displacement fears are justified; tech companies are scaling back entry-level hiring; 'new jobs will replace old jobs' narrative is false; widespread protests over AI job loss are likely

Oracle Summary

Eugenia Kuyda lands at 8/100 (lucid) for lucid. Kuyda directly acknowledges AI job displacement as justified, explicitly rejects the 'new technology creates more jobs' narrative, and confirms companies (including her own) are cutting entry-level hiring. This is a lucid, evidence-based assessment of structural labor market changes, not coping. Score is low because she is correctly identifying economic reality rather than denying, deflecting, or offering false comfort.
