AI job displacement fears haven't materialized

Oracle Summary

Sam Altman lands at 68/100 (heavy cope) for denial. Altman explicitly denies widespread AI job displacement while simultaneously the article documents 17 major companies (Oracle, Cisco, IBM, Uber) citing AI as a factor in layoffs and a clear majority of Americans believing AI reduces jobs. This represents direct denial of structural economic reality despite contradicting evidence. The Stanford study cited provides false comfort narrative to support denial. Score reflects explicit denial with contradicting documented evidence of AI-related job cuts.
