I had my "wow, this is happening"-moment ~8 years ago. I expect economic turmoil for the transition phase, here's my plan I came up with back then, hope it helps someone:

• Changed my career path to IT governance. Smaller risk to be automated right at the beginning and gives me insight into IT developments on the one hand and into what happens in my field strategically on the other hand. Also gives me some influence in the development.
• I kept my reoccuring monthly expenses low (~ one third of income) and set up a rainy day-fund of liquidity. I don't want to be cornered financially by running out of money immediately in economic trouble.
• I invest a good part of my income (but don't forget to live!) about ~50% in dividend stocks/ETFs to create a second income stream which should make me less dependent on my job as time goes by. I invest the other ~50% into stocks/ETFs that could more directly benefit from AI / own the AI. I want to have a stake in AI development, better insights / influence and benefit from it, if possible.
• Networking a lot, in my career as well as outside of it. I started by going to technology-related events and discussions in my city and meeting people. Kept in touch with them throughout Covid. I also take part in online discussions and virtual meetings of organisations that deal with AI. Takes a lot of time in addition to the job, but makes me get new information comparatively fast. It also comes with job opportunities, a good backup for if/when my current career gets disrupted.
• And of course: health/fitness. Nobody wants to die just before LEV is reached. ;-)

Nothing of this is a catch-all solution to the likely challenges that we will IMHO see in the years leading up to a possible singularity. Overall, nobody knows what's going to happen, but I hope to mitigate risks and improve my chances to getting my family and myself through this with less grey hair than otherwise.
