Somewhere out there are a million people much better and smarter than you and me. Why is this software causing you existential dread instead?

The commoditization and automation of everything means that humans become worthless.

Humans become less valuable, not worthless. And those who command this technology will become more powerful.

To me that is an oxymoron. Humans are the source of meaning and value. Nothing could make us worthless. We are the ones who assign value, without us the concept does not exist.

Sure, among us that is true. But to those who have power over us...the corporations and the government...our only value is our labor.
