OpenAI and Anthropic aim for AGI (artificial general intelligence), a system surpassing all human jobs. The author suggests organizing against these goals, arguing it's better to engage critically rather than shaming individual users. He believes this will make policymakers more receptive to tech regulation.","keyPoints":["OpenAI and Anthropic aim for AGI","AGI would replace most human work","Left should organize against AI obsolescence"],"whyItMatters":"Organizing against AI could influence policy and prevent the industry from achieving its goals of replacing humans with machines.","category":{"slug":"policy","name":"Policy & Regulation","url":"https://digestai.news/category/policy"},"entities":{"companies":["OpenAI","Anthropic"],"models":[],"people":["Dario Amodei"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-29T12:00:50Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-29T12:00:50Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"The Guardian AI","title":"Stop shaming people for using AI.
