What happened to the techno optimistic abundance of everything that the VCs and tech founders were shilling?

"...the lifting of billions of people out of poverty to share in the new technologies, a renaissance of liberal democracy and human rights."

So we lift billions out of poverty by replacing everyone's jobs? Abundance of unemployment?

Also what happened to the narrative of "There will be new jobs made with AI", I am struggling to understand how can there be new jobs in AI when AI can literally replace it faster than the job was created.

Are there any employers in the market for hiring Prompt Engineers for $250K+?

Anyone?
