Tyler Cowen wrote a post "Why You Should Work Much Harder Right Now" with a simple logic:
- If AI devalues your skills - your current salary is relatively high. Earn while you can.
- If AI enhances your skills - invest time in learning AI right now to keep up.
In both cases, the answer is the same: work more.
This is essentially Pascal's wager for your career. Pascal said: if you don't know whether God exists - bet that He does, because the gain is infinite and the loss is minimal. Here it's the same - you don't know if AI will replace you or enhance you, but in both scenarios, the optimal strategy is the same.
