The way he talks about it makes him sound like a toddler experiencing things for the first time.
I just do not get authors who can write dystopian fiction and then be all in on dystopian tech. Seems they don't understand the inherent themes in their own work.
ALSO, he clearly missed the memo, 'cos we're not lashing out at the tech, we're lashing out at the people using it for their own gain, so if anything, based on his half-baked logic, his "empathy" for machines relies on his ability to profit off them. Don't think they'd appreciate that 👀
As he says, some people are incapable of empathizing with others who have been robbed and their work reduced to mere training data. Of course, he has ways of victimizing himself if you don't respect his non-sentient tools.

This dude is imagining marrying a fucking server bank and consumating the union with its fucking USB-C port!
Yes, I am implying his dick is tiny! I'm angry and petty!
