I would argue it does matter, regulators are always behind on these things. Better to be in one of the last jobs to be automated and avoid the mess of regulators learning how to properly alleviate disruptive pressures. Im sure during the industrial revolution people who adapted more quickly by either a) buying a tractor or b) quickly learning how to do a desk job were better off than those who resisted and still used mule-drawn plows for tilling their fields. Obviously more than just farming was impacted but I digress. (For context prior to the industrial revolution 80% of all people were farmers - today it is less than 1%)

tldr: don’t be the lesson be the end result
