thankfully we are unconditionally, infinitely, and inviolably valuable to our maker and, as a result, love is our only task
I don’t want to dunk on this, and I’m not, but I think this is actually a much bigger psychological issue than just AI and it’s one our culture (by which I mean American in particular, modern Western in general) has been very bad at addressing
I don’t think this is a narcissistic injury, but it is an egoistic injury. And it hurts a lot! If a computer can do everything I can do, what makes me valuable? This is a difficult question to answer

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything
