Look at their comment history, they seem to be throwing out vapid, vaguely positive comments in an attempt to gain karma.
such a strange spam technique when LLMs exist. Generating spam is what they are basically designed to do

I want to give them the opportunity to explain themselves before I go on a down-voting spree.

Those exist, too. They seem to be using the title as a prompt. There was someone doing that just a week or so ago with a reliably consistent format across all their comments.

#9Technocracy had both socialist proponents like Charles Steinmetz and also anti-communists racists/fascists like Joshua Haldeman (Elon Musk grandfather). In some ways technocracy is the acknowledging of the necessity of economy planning to transcend capitalism but without taking into account class struggle. That way, it can be seen like a good-willed engineer dream that doesn't wants to face social reality or thinks socialist like planning can be implemented just by convincing capitalists it's advantages for the entire society (somewhat like the old utopian socialism / fabianism)... or, it can be used as an ideological cover-up to sell the dream of a brighter future but without questioning the billonarie class, the concentration of capital or the property of the means of production, while avoiding taking explicit positions in every class struggle instance.
I think this new version is the latter case, a bad rehearsal used as a veil of the ascent of fascism in the States.

#10It could also be simple. This looks like a bunch of very high profile people in a fast changing environment, just doing their best not to become targets, and helping consolidate power is a side effect.
The time will come when it’s rational for powerful people to make a stand - but that time has not yet arrived. According to the pattern, society has to go through a dark time first. Probably so there’s something to contrast against.
The most tragic thing is how many museums we already have - all over the world! - that tell this story.
