I listen to the All In Podcast sometimes and have heard David Sacks repeatedly state that the numbers don’t show any automation related job loss to date.
Anecdotally, my wife and I run a small business and we have absolutely replaced people with GPT/Grok/Gemini/Claude. However, all of the people replaced so far have been contractors. Graphic designers, translators, etc.
So maybe there is more ‘job loss’ than the numbers show, but the first to fall are contractors doing part time work instead of full time employees.
