20 multiple-choice questions scored instantly in your browser. No AI calls, no waiting. Each answer carries cope points (0-20) and a cope type classification. Your total is normalised to a 0-100 cope score.
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.
