Which AI apocalypse are we more worried about; the one that destroys the jobs or the one that destroys humanity?  I suppose they could the same event in different stages.  I am baffled how so very few are even thinking about the changes about to occur when so much (at best) disruptive change is coming.  I don't think our current economic and political systems will survive what's coming.  We need to think hard about what world we are going to have when AI makes human labor close to irrelevant.  One thing that doesn't seem to get much thought is that the resources going to AI are already causing supply pressures on human consumption (energy, water, material resources).
