Given techies have spent years sneering at every other field that they should "learn to code", it is pretty funny that techies have built technology that may make themselves obsolete and it is causing them the same distress they inflicted on others.

On the other hand given the consensus that the current AI models can only copy based on existing objects and it is fields that require a human touch that will be resistant to AI intrusion, perhaps the correct advice is now: "learn to human".

To be slightly less snide: when I was born, there were tens of thousands of nuclear weapons on a hair trigger all pointed across the globe, enough to wipe out life on earth many times over. We came close, sometime very close, sometimes to the point of "one guy deciding not to launch"...but here we are.

On the other hand there are actual threats you could worry and do something about like being in car accidents, heart disease and stroke, COVID is still going around and does have a long term health impact, but those are the less sexy and less all over hacker news threats. Those are Boring but much more likely to kill you than AI models achieving sentience.

Bet against the apocalypse. If you win, you make money. If you lose, you won't care because you will be dead.
