Given the news of the last 48 hours I'm getting freaked out, and I need some practical, not sarcastic advice on how to prepare myself and my family for what's coming in terms of this AI revolution. I understand if shit really hits the fan there's nothing we can do, but I'd rather be sort of prepared than not prepared.
Should I delete most/all of my social media accounts? Scrub my existence from the internet? Start a medium-sized food and water supply at home?
