Schmidt is paraphrasing advice around getting on a boat. Broadly speaking, if there is a green field and you're young and ambitious and not born rich, and you're able to choose whether or not to get on board, your odds are better there than wherever you are right now.

The analogy with AI would be doing something few others are doing. Just "accepting AI and integrating it deeply" is closer to trend following.

Schmidt is admonishing people for resisting what he and others in a small group of morally deficient technocrats are coercing them to do.

He's distracting people to pay no attention to the unintended consequences of their actions, distracting people from the Epstein files and the role of many of the people in his circle in them, and he's bloviating in front of a bunch of people who see through his tenuous charade.
