Why you should work much harder RIGHT NOW
Importance: 5 | # | mr, tc
If strong AI will lower the value of your human capital, your current wage is relatively high compared to your future wage. That is an argument for working harder now, at least if your current and pending pay can rise with greater effort (not true for all jobs).
If strong AI can at least potentially boost the value of your human capital, you should be investing in learning AI skills right now. No need to fall behind on something so important. You also might have the chance to use that money and buy into the proper capital and land assets.
So…WORK HARDER!
Isn't this massive labour-saving technology wonderful? Now that it's finally here we can ... errr... (checks notes) Work much harder!
Tyler's argument is valid for the slow-takeoff scenario. You should weight it to your belief of P(slow-takeoff). In the fast-takeoff scenario, it seems likely that this and nothing else matters as much - you either work on alignment or enjoy life right now.
