Disclaimer: this is mild AI slop. Still true and my views. — Is this post unnerving? Yes. Is AI inevitable? Likely. Is it hopeless? No. The worst move right now is paralysis. Take action: Learn AI. Use it daily. Reduce lifestyle inflation. Develop a second skillset. Do uncomfortable work that builds resilience: Cold calling. Skilled labor. Go back to school. There’s a huge shortage of healthcare providers. Things rarely feel urgent — until it’s too late. Our most powerful tool amidst uncertainty is agency. But it can disappear if you don’t use it. Adapt early.
