   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.

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

               Serious question: do we need it to be equally distributed?

               If every human in a few decades lives a life with as much comfort, health, security, etc. as today’s billionaires, does it matter that the centatrillionaires of 2066 are off building private space habitats in the asteroid belt or trading ultra-rare crystals mined from Saturn’s rings or whatever?
