Love is the only moat humans have against AGI, because AGI doesn't need love to reproduce or evolve.
Since taste is a function of love, humans will always be better at taste.
We just need to keep human taste relevant enough.

Unless you seize the day, it flees. Even though you seize it, it still will flee; therefore you must vie with time's swiftness in the speed of using it, and, as from a torrent that rushes by and will not always flow, you must drink quickly.

When in decision paralysis, remember:
winners decide early with limited information, commit fully, let go of alternatives, and work hard to make their choice right.
it's important to cultivate a version of the steve jobs reality distortion field in your own work. you need to have a singular, almost delusional, focus on shipping your vision. anything less and you risk letting surmountable roadblocks stop you prematurely
Regarding Lycurgus, founder of Sparta.
The pivotal moment in the creation of Sparta came when Lycurgus proposed radical laws that would transform the state into some of the greatest warriors in history.
A member of the assembly was so offended that he struck Lycurgus in the eye. Lycurgus could easily have killed him and everyone knew it.
Instead, he stood there with his eye destroyed and invited that man to his house for dinner, ultimately convincing the man to become one of his greatest supporters.
Once the laws were in place, Lycurgus left for the temple, saying the laws could not change until he returned. Then Lycurgus starved himself to death.
BAMF.
The lesson here is that revenge is for the weak.
