I feel like it's pointless to worry about the future if the future is highly speculative, but it seems more and more certain that AI will eclipse humans in every domain outright soonish (1-3 years).
As a consequence, it seems pointless to work at a job. The local optima are either hedonism-maxxing or capital-maxxing, any middle ground seems like a foolish enterprise when all that effort over marginal returns won't matter soon.
NOTE: If you disagree with this premise, please provide actual evidence that the trends in improvement in AI models will not continue, and will peak at Mythos level somehow. Do not just assume that things will remain the same despite that not having been the case for the last few years.
