The Receipts.

What they said. What they walked back.

Every CEO promise about AI and your job — time-stamped, sourced, and filed next to the day they took it back.

15 Receipts Filed
8 CEOs Tracked
3 Walkbacks
3 Contradictions

They say the quiet part on stage, then say the opposite the week before an IPO. We write both down.

"Jobs are definitely going to go away." "Customer support is not long for this world." Then, with a fundraise on the line: "I'm delighted to be wrong." The Receipts is a chronological record of those statements — and a contradiction view that sets the original claim against the walkback, with a counter showing exactly how many days passed between confidence and reassurance.

Filter by walkbacks. Filter by name. Every entry carries a source. The point isn't gotcha — it's memory. The people building the replacement keep telling us what they plan to do. We're just refusing to forget.

Sources & Method

Every quote is attributed to a named outlet, podcast, conference, or public filing — The Atlantic, CNBC, the Lex Fridman and Joe Rogan podcasts, Axios, Reuters, the Milken Institute, and company investor days among them. Dates reflect the original statement. "Contradictions" pairs a claim with a later walkback by the same executive; the days-apart counter is computed from the two dates. Last pass: 2026-06. Updated as the receipts come in.
