There is some evidence that Dario is mitigating his Doomer rhetoric.

Pope vs AI, Anthropic's Digital God, AI Job Loss Narrative Flips, Open Source Crackdown Coming?

Well, I mean, I think you should be giving me more credit than that because my most contrarian take back in January on our prediction show is that AI would lead to job gains, not job loss.

You know, I don't think he'd be doing that if he felt like he was completely stepping out on a limb.

Maybe even more importantly, you had Sam and even Dario now walking back their claims of massive job loss.

And they explained why Dario said it's kind of like the 25% of work hours thing he said.

that AI might automate away 90% of someone's tasks, but the other 10% will expand to do a whole bunch of new tasks and new things, which is very similar to the types of arguments that people like me have been saying, and actually that Jensen's been saying, that just because you automate away some tasks doesn't mean that you automate away the purpose of a job, and now the worker is freed up to do new things, to do the higher complexity tasks that

And where do I go to get my apology?
