    The shape of five stages of grief is something I see recurring in AI discourse. It also happened with programmers - they are currently at bargaining.

    Some are still at denial. “It’s all hype like NFT and crypto, the bubble will pop soon”.

      I reached the depression stage before even realizing that what we are all going through now is indeed grief. Here's hoping acceptance can come soon enough and lead to something more productive.

        We? There was no grief for me, the end of human labor can’t come soon enough.

          >"the end of human labor can’t come soon enough."

          Are you so certain that the benefits of that will be equally distributed to people like us?

            Yes. If not, we will be starting to chop off heads.
