I'm all for making us all more efficient, but not at the cost of creating new data monopolies, if possible. The price is very high, even though it's not immediately obvious.

We already have enormous concentration of data in a few places and it's only getting worse. Centralization is efficiency, but the benefits of that get skimmed disproportionally, to the detriment of what allowed these systems to emerge in the first place: our society.

> Technology should make life easier.

A totalitarian state can make your life very comfortable with technology. Wanna trade for freedom?

Automation is the best, if the majority can benefit from it.

I hope no one will be disappointed, who has done a good job as an employee suddenly finding himself replaced by a snippet of code, after the weights have been sufficiently adjusted.

It's like slurping the very last capital a worker has out of its mind and soul. Most companies exist to make a profit, not to employ humans.

Paired with the pseudo-mocked-tech-bro self-peddling BS this announcement reads like dystopia to me. Not that technological progress is bad, but technology should empower users (for real, by giving them more control) not increase power imbalances.

Let's see how many people who cheered today will cheer just as happily in 2028. My bet: just a few.
