You're just proving their point by calling what they wrote conspiracy theory, without refuting or even interacting with a single thing they actually said, to claim politics is "actually never" about money or power grabs, and "almost always" about sincerely held beliefs. That's just laughable.

That's an incredibly unintelligent "everything is fine move along" comment. Seeing how it contains nothing of value whatsover, I'm surprised it's this short, usually they're several paragraphs. These people are sometimes known as the lazy ones amongst the unintelligent ones.

from the second link:

> Besides Elizabeth Weil's nymag article (here), there has been virtually zero (mainstream) media coverage of the extremely serious claims that Annie has consistently made many, many times against Sam Altman over the past 4 years.

> I often saw privacy advocates argue against Google proposals in ways that were net harmful to users. Some of these fights have had lasting effects on the world at large; one of the most annoying is the prevalence of pointless cookie warnings we have to wade through today.

If you don't track users and store personal info about them, there is no need for a banner. You could have an opt-in link for being tracked to hell and back in the footer. It is amazing to me how many "engineers" and "webmasters" cannot understand something so simple.

Might as well say all those boneheaded laws made by people who aren't even professional rapists require you to ask random strangers if it's okay if you spike their drink; yes, you might say they do, but if you're the kind of person who doesn't spike drinks, you will never even know, the issue will not come up once, it will not take one second out of your life. Even just scrolling by the FUD still spread by people against the GDPR takes more away from me than the GDPR does.
