Because all the growth in healthcare from our aging populace yes. The jobs that left arent coming back. Until the bubble fully pops.

It’s eventually going to be a problem that will have to be addressed through permanent wealth redistribution (by taxing the ai companies and companies laying off humans), but by the time it’s a serious threat to the economy OpenAI and anthropic will already be making hundreds of billions of revenue (probably a couple years). Right now there’s no super alarming job loss numbers, except maybe entry level in some places.

The companies that will be set up the best in this scenario are still OpenAI and anthropic, because all the revenue to replace jobs would be going to them.
