Huang explicitly denied that AI is destroying jobs, calling the fear 'complete nonsense.'

Oracle Summary

Jensen Huang lands at 72/100 (heavy cope) for denial. Huang's explicit denial that AI destroys jobs is textbook heavy_cope. The claim directly contradicts documented data cited in the article itself—AI topping job cut reasons for the first time, entry-level software developer employment down 20%, and warnings from AI lab leaders. Huang's role as the primary vendor of AI infrastructure creates a blatant conflict of interest. The dismissal of worker fears as 'complete nonsense' while evidence mounts represents narrative inversion and comfort-story economics. The article acknowledges this gap: 'the catch Huang skips past' is that AI compresses the entry rung workers need to climb.
