20 multiple-choice questions scored instantly from a fixed answer key. The server verifies all 20 answer choices and recalculates the result before it enters the public statistics. Each answer carries cope points (0-20) and a cope type classification; the total is normalised to a 0-100 cope score.
This is a viewpoint quiz built around the Discontinuity Thesis, not a validated psychological or employment-risk assessment. The optional personalised Oracle commentary uses AI and is disclosed separately.
Lower scores mean you're more lucid about AI displacement. Higher scores mean you're coping harder.
Your score maps you onto the Hinton–Andreessen spectrum of AI displacement awareness:
The quiz is grounded in the Discontinuity Thesis v3.3, which scores AI displacement exposure across four dimensions:
Unit-Cost Collision (30%) — When AI cost per task drops below human cost, displacement follows.
Interface Collapse (25%) — When AI can directly serve end users, the human intermediary vanishes.
Propagation Blindness (25%) — People underestimate how fast AI capability improvements cascade across sectors.
Coordination Feasibility (20%) — Can society actually coordinate a response? Redistribution is system replacement, not rescue.
Each answer is classified into a cope type. The main ones:
Copilot Fallacy — "AI is just a tool to help humans." Until it isn't.
Regulatory Hopium — Hoping governments will regulate the problem away.
Historical Analogy Cope — "The printing press didn't kill scribes." Yes it did.
Gradualism Cope — "It'll be slow enough to adapt." Will it?
Sector Exceptionalism — "My industry is different." It isn't.
Human Premium Cope — Believing humans have an irreplaceable premium.
Retraining Fantasy — "Just retrain everyone." Into what?
If you share personal details (job, industry) or comments after the quiz, the Oracle — powered by MiniMax M2.7 — will give you a personalised assessment of how screwed you are, scored through the DT 3.3 lens.
You can argue with the Oracle afterwards. It doesn't pull punches.
