Truer words have never been spoken.

My bottomwit approach: On an individual level, use AI as far as I can push it. Maximize individual productivity. Then dump the resulting profits into index funds, to hedge against when - not if - my own cognitive labor becomes near worthless by investing in the productivity of the entire Earth, broadly defined.

This is a good investment strategy because eventually your cognitive ability will decline to zero even if AI does not advance any further!
