What about pedestrians trying to cross these streets you want to blaze along?

Nothing changes for them. Pedestrians have the right of way on a crosswalk regardless of whether a signal is in play. It’s the cyclists responsibility to avoid the pedestrian which is generally a matter of cycling behind the pedestrian, sometimes slowing down a bit if needed.

What about bicyclists who need to merge, or perhaps are not as fast as you?

No need for stopping; just vary speed as needed.

Let’s not attribute surveillance harms and faults to victims of mass surveillance.

Privacy is about control and having autonomy. Both privacy and autonomy are human rights, which Tesla and other mass surveillance pushers encroach on. Worth noting that there exists a demographic of cyclists who cycle for the privacy it gives.

Do you not yield to traffic in roundabouts??

Depends on if the traffic is cars or cycles as far as whether yielding requires a stop. Cars move a lot of mass very fast so I must stop if timing forces me to. And that’s frequent. Roundabout traffic in the form of cycles does not require stopping. I’ve seen it 1st hand at Critical Mass events. You only need to vary your speed, unless the round about is so clusterfucked with bikes that you need to stop, which is rare and would never be a realistic scenario outside of Critical Mass. But if it were, I would argue that the civil engineers fucked up.. that the roundabout is not proportioned for the capacity it needs to serve. Regardless, in the very worst of cases you never need to be stopped at a roundabout when there is no traffic. Stops also only last as long as necessary. They are not artificially imposed by the timing of a traffic light.
