There isn't any "prepping for this outcome", unless you're thinking of a doomsday bunker in argentina. You can be neighbors with Peter Thiel! The way I see it, if programmers go the way of hatters it's not long for other professions, so why retrain? The only thing that will save other jobs is bureaucracy and accreditation. But that's the doom scenario, which I don't think is going to happen. These things are useful but they can't do everything.

I think there's some progress, but I think the hype is so high that people don't have a clear view of what's realistic and what's not. IE, if you were to believe Amodei back in 2025 you'd believe none of us would even have jobs to complain about right now.. which hasn't happened. Altman is already declaring the singularity. It's unhinged. Anyone that says this is going to cure cancer or solve all problems is just living in a delusion.
