Being early to the Singularity won't give you personally any sort of long-run personal advantages. Use your current advantages well.

Instead of focusing on early adoption, individuals should leverage their current advantages, as financial stability and status are more beneficial for navigating potential societal challenges.

This post argues that early AI adoption offers no lasting personal advantage, unlike the common perception that being first provides a long-term edge.
