AI doesn't feel like a threat because it arrives as a productivity tool, not a predator. Your brain evolved 200,000 years ago to spot immediate danger, so it misses the slow, fast-moving technological shift reshaping careers. The real risk is invisible.
The problem is, the thing moving toward your work right now does not have teeth and does not look like the last threat. It looks like a tab. It looks, at first, like a tool that makes your old job easier. So the caveman files it under safe and points your attention at the wrong horizon. You are scanning the tree line for a lion while the river quietly changes course behind you. That is the real picture. The fastest technology ever built on one side, a 200,000-year-old brain on the other, and your career is the battleground in between.
