AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

Call me a contrarian, but I think abstracting Marx into oblivion because tech bros want you to believe we're a bootloader species is bad, actually.
