Something I've been trying push more recently is that AI will not stop at tech or its current level of capabilities.
The world is changing very fast now, and that pace of change will only accelerate.
You'll see many existential risks arise in coming years. Most will be negligible, but as they compound something will go wrong.
Similarly the magic box of AI will continue to deliver changes that would seem insane were I to predict them today.
In 5 years you may be granted the ability to read minds or never need to worry about money again.
The future is now almost entirely unpredictable. The only thing that isn't completely unpredictable is tomorrow.
Please, if you have the chance to enjoy your self for the next few years without having to worry about how you'll put food on the table, consider doing that.
Do not over-index on how the world is right now because things are going to change so much. A good career today is extremely unlikely to be a good career tomorrow.
If need be, just get a job. Stack some shelves and deliver some pizzas, spend the rest with those you love and doing the things that matter to you. I can't predict the future exactly, but I assure you, if you're still around, you'll realise how little thinking about this mattered in 2 decades.
