Interesting; he is clearly saying that they were ("as a field") "confident and wrong" to believe that "the economy would have been completely upended" by the appearance of a model as strong as GPT4. What seems to be missing, from your point of view, to consider it an admission of being wrong?

This was posted in August 2026, so he's talking about the latest OpenAI models. I don't know where you got GPT4 from but clearly you are also misunderstanding everything he said.

He's also just saying what he thinks people (the general population) want to hear ("AI won't take your job").

What are you actually trying to get at? Had you even bothered to watch the 2nd (short) yet?

My point was that he’s willing to acknowledge that he was wrong, that is what the clip shows. Also can you read minds now?

Have you? He's clearly saying that it's society's fault if GPT-4 didn't lead to the great replacement of software engineers he predicted rather than the capabilities of the model. He's acknowledging absolutely no fault of his, rather blaming sOcIeTy for his own failures and lies.
