But here's the thing I don't get. I can see the argument for AI endangering our jobs. But why does this also mean that rapid adoption of AI on a personal level of is so important? In an AI world, there could be a new bell curve of talent and a fight to stay ahead. So ... adopt early so you're the one not left behind. (and implicitly, most other people are left behind?)

If AI tightens down the job market I just don't see why there would need to be this frantic urgency to adopt it. Getting a small head start might not mean very much once the dust has settled. Employers will still be cutting, and there will still be new blood who will adapt to new technology faster than you can.
