From what I read, he stated that even the coming of computers in the first place threatened many jobs, also many fresh graduates felt probably the same way back then, but everything worked out in the end.
Everything worked out in the end for Eric Schmidt because he rode computers to billionaire status.
It did not always work out so great for the people who were replaced, and the people who were replaced were a much smaller percentage of the workforce than the tech CEOs are claiming will be replaced by AI.
People largely go to college to train for the white collar jobs that tech CEOs are claiming are going to be entirely replaced by LLMs, where's the hope for the people that just spent six figures learning how to do jobs that people like Schmidt are trying their hardest to eliminate?
Those magic new jobs, that are possible only due to LLM existence, should start hiring any day now.
Jokes aside, for a second there might appear a niche for "authentic human work", but that would be dead on arrival, at least considering fate of Etsy - flooded by "handmade" goods few years ago.
