> then I just ask you

Calling these the words of an oppressor rings of “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”

But truly, what is your desire? What is your goal?

Do you want this thread, this site, to only agree with you?

To exclusively, and stubbornly, ignore externalities? To exclusively praise tech? To exclusively praise oligarchs? To whom, and what ends, would this benefit?

On the subject of oppression it may be beneficial for you to read up on Eco's Ur-Fascism.

Number 4, notably:

"4. No syncretistic faith can withstand analytical criticism. The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge. For Ur-Fascism, disagreement is treason."

You're the only one in this thread who appears intolerant of disagreement. Your hatred for a tool borders on religious. It made you create a fake account just to post this. Why are you afraid of using your real account if you are able to stand up to criticism and disagreement?

Please don't go down the path of making personal attacks.

> Why are you afraid of using your real account

Careful with being blindly led by your own assumptions.

I actually disagree with your thesis here. I think if every comment was posted under a new account this site would improve its average veracity.

As it stands certain 'celebrity', or high karma, accounts are artificially bolstered by the network effect indifferent to the defensibility of their claims.

Who is the parent oppressing? Making a comment and companies looking to automate labor are a little bit different. One might disagree that automation is oppressive or whatever goals the major tech CEOs have in developing AIs (surveillance, influencing politics, increasing wealth gap), but certainly commenting that they are oppressive is not the same thing.
