As workers, we are majorly screwed no matter what happens. Either AI/Robotics takes off, and creates a permanent 50% unemployment class, which MAGA will solve by exchanging basic subsistence needs like shelter and water in work camps, where we will be leased out to corporations as slaves, under the 13th Amendment. Also a good place for any dissenters, journalists, attorneys and judges who won't go along, etc.
Or maybe the bubble will pop, and we'll have a repeat of 2008, except 100 times worse.
No matter what happens, the citizens are going to take it in shorts.

Rather US centric view there. What'll happen to the majority of the world's population?

> Or maybe the bubble will pop, and we’ll have a repeat of 2008, except 100 times worse. The AI spending and stock is much more localized. It's not grown over more years and integrated into many financial systems. So the results may be much less severe.

Do you think that this time the lesson will stick? Will we stop lionizing rich, lazy, smug fucks who’s protein would be more useful as fertilizer for our crops?
