are you aware of worldcoin? altman building a centralised authority of who will be classed as "human" is about as authoritarian as you could get

  Worldcoin is opt-in, which is the opposite of authoritarian. Nobody who doesn’t like it is required to participate.

    it's always opt-in until it isn't

    it is opt in until they manage to convince some government to allow them to be the contracted provider of "humanness verification" that is then made a prerequisite to access services.

    Comcast is also opt-in. Except, in many areas there are no real alternatives. I doubt Worldcoin will actually manage to corner the market. But the point is, if it did, bad things would happen. Though, that’s probably true of most products.
