I dunno, it still looks like human bodies will be useful for a while yet, if only because of the massive investment in legacy infrastructure designed for humans. So knowing the trajectory of AI better might help you determine whether to say retool as say a drill rig operator; the crossover point of extractable income in sw eng vs. petrochem could be meaningfully impacted by tech on the horizon. Of course you have to sacrifice your body but that's an expected tradeoff... could always try to pack into one of the gov/admin lifeboats I suppose.
Speaking of children though, what the hell are we supposed to teach them?
