I'm still working as a programmer, thought I already have no motivation at all. It's possible, that money I have is already enough to survive till that moment. Also there's no point in the work I do in the context of progress in AI

Yes, programming is fighting against other programmers and their bugs, which becomes demotivating if you don't need the money. So I left in 1997 after my 0b100000th birthday. Thought that investing in stock index certificates will get me 11% per year on average. And then the dotcom bubble exploded and I run out of money in 2018. Luckily, my family supports me and I don't need much for a living.
