Labor "shortage"? In a free market, wouldn't the price of labor, i.e. wages, rise to meet demand?

Yeah, a shortage implies that the price of labor rises a lot

Not unimaginable, given that the bottlenecks seem to be concentrating on high-level direction, relational work, and expert verification

It’s not going to be instant. Just like we have housing shortages or unemployment.

I don’t see a whole lot (if any) of optimism in the article. Of course the oligarchs would put out a grand vision of AI. Too many similarities to Rapture (Bioshock).

we're giving you jobs! See that millionaire over there! Soon he'll afford a yacht! Who will build the yachts? You! Who will clean the toilets! You! Can't you see, we won't run you out of a good job, we'll run you into the dirtiest jobs!
