## Summary

The article argues that while many resist AI, the real threat comes from companies aiming to replace human work with machines. 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.

## Key points

- OpenAI and Anthropic aim for AGI
- AGI would replace most human work
- Left should organize against AI obsolescence

## Why it matters
