and before you know it, you confuse some loud people disliking your edgy opinions with you and your โ€œfactsโ€ being oppressed

I agree with your other points but you're definitely wrong on this. Facts are definitely oppressed today. Objective, verifiable historical facts are "not allowed" to be mentioned, and it has cost people their job.

And I do believe that is something that we've been trained to do now. Mention you just used AI with the wrong people and you're out. A moral absolutism based on disinformation and refutable arguments. The "MAGAtization" of the left if you will. Or in case of AI it creates a deep moralistic divide with tech nerds.

It could either be accidental (engagement is good for profit) or part of a strategy (divide and conquer). But as a society we've lost the ability to even talk about certain very important things without walking on eggshells.

And yeah most of this is speculation.

    So, there are people who think you are a bad person for supporting large companies with fascist owners that sell you a product that makes you unlearn critical thinking, steals your data and also destroys the environment in new and funny ways?

    Yeah, that sounds like a reasonable opinion to me, to be honest. Of course, you are free to disagree, but I would like to use what is left of my free speech to call AI supporters morons. I am also deeply against people who make cluster munitions to be dropped on middle-eastern hospitals, or who work in surveillance capitalism.

    That's just me having an opinion, and I will not give up my core values because of some hypothetical unity. That is how we end up with the US Democrats being the "left" party. People like Clinton or Pelosi have tend to use arguments to silence critics, and it didn't work out well for the US left. The enemy of my enemy is my ally, not my friend.
