    Increasingly convinced that most AI doomerism is coming from the VC / Startup ecosystem because the industry, or game, they've been playing for the last 20 years is undergoing the most disruption.

    I'm genuinely curious what a good survival strategy is for people at different levels within tech - junior, mid-level, senior, staff, etc.

      I have 10+ YOE, staff at FAANG, work on AI infra.

      My strategy is:

      - study/learn and try to be as close as possible to the valuable skills required to keep AI systems improving and working, even more than I am now. Should buy slightly more time than the average dev.

      - own a house

      - save as much money as possible

      - make time to learn a employable physical skill which is AI proof. Won’t share mine but you can figure it out there aren’t that many options that will be left

      Cut your expenses, save as much money as you can, but mostly just enjoy the present before it all spirals out of control
