Betting on AI disruption as a hedge against AI disruption, does this logic hold?

Hi everyone,

What do you all think about this?

Can I hedge the possible AI dystopian future where 80% of people lose their job and no adequate social economical societal support (eg government welfare) to support everyone, by doing the following:

I go all in on the big players in AI on the stock market in the vertical with the cash I have and do dollar cost averaging for the next 10 years: amazon, google, microsoft (infrastructure), asml and nvidia, etc (chips/hardware, memory), palantir ('the OS for AI') and robotic ETFs and be a long term holder + do dollar cost averaging.

In case the dystopian case arrives, possibly after some crashes of stock (where I hold on like a rabid dog), everything in the stock portfolio goes to the moon. The world is fucked, but I am loaded and can buy my family and loved ones a way to happiness by not being a part of the financially dependent. I win.

In case AI is a bubble, I'd probably benefit a bit from the hyperscalers and lose the rest. But the world is not fucked, I have some cash, property and commodities. I'm healthy and have a life. I win

I already have a house of which half is paid off and had a nice market ride up on housing prices, a garage box in the city centre and some gold and silver I've had for 10+ years and some ETF investments. say all in all my net worth is around 500k. I have 50K in cash and can spare 1500 per month for dollar cost averaging.

The time horizon is up to 2035. I think we just cannot grasp the AI disruption about to take place and how fast it will take us all by surprise.

\--- without an edit: the above was my initial small idea that I wanted to test against the community here. I've already had this challenged by AI, so have some other info, but I am more interested in real user feedback.
