i was arguing in favor of choosing manual labor careers in another thread but imo, if you are already a programmer i would try and use AI to do cool stuff right now. i just wouldnt start a cs degree right now lol. well, actually i would but only if i was financially secure and not trying to get income lol (because i think computer science is philosophically important).

i think of the take off i have in mind as mild but i think most people would think of it as fairly extreme XD e.g. 15 yrs from now almost all labor is automated and the AI is building seasteads to launch from to begin construction of it's dyson sphere swarm.
