"I'm delighted to ⁠be wrong about this, I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs being eliminated by now than ​has actually happened," Altman told CBA Chief Executive Matt Comyn in a virtual interview at a Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) conference in Sydney (via Reuters).

...he says after two years of some of the biggest tech layoffs in history that have impacted numerous tech businesses.

Maybe he just means he knows the companies are lying about layoffs for AI and it's just an excuse to cut labor, but I doubt it.

Yeah the job market is teetering and quite frankly I think the numbers coming out are a little cooked these days, because they paint a rosier picture than I see around me.
