I mean, from his perspective, having nothing to lose (besides his soul, ofc, but that's for silly people π), of course!

You think the Palantir CEO has a soul? You gaze into that orb once and it's game over
Of course he does. But false dichotomy aside, China has a good chance "winning the AI race" anyway. Given their existing work, the investment they're doing in higher education, the additional internationally trained talent they get every year, and the industrial base that lets them make cheap energy and hardware, I think at the very least China has a decent chance to create equivalent tools at a lower price than whatever the US AI industry creates. If they come out with a competitive hardware and sell it at lower margins, along with free models as they already offer... I think a lot of firms and governments would opt for that instead of paying for NVIDIA and OpenAI.
No it's not
Not MY Surveillance! YOUR Surveillance!
-Palantir CEO!
If any of you dumb fucks don't think we already live in a surveillance state, you are part of the problem
The biggest conspiracy theory of my lifetime was the government was intercepting all communication and it was proven completely true.
Spoken like a true surveillance-state shill.
anything is preferable to people like you
what an absolute piece of human turd. most likely stinks like shit around him, every time he opens his mouth.
CEOs are getting too comfortable again. One needs to be pew-pewed in the streets to thin the herd and guarantee next year's harvest!
Those are the only two options???
I know Iβm supposed to be better than this, but what the absolute fuck is wrong with bro? His entire vibe is off. What the fuck is with that hair? Why is he calling everything baller? This is some Zuckerberg lizard person shit all over again a person who thinks that hair works and talking like that sounds fucking cool canβt be an actual human what in the weird ass shit.

What an absolute cunt
seems like less of a threat than US bases surveillance/MOSSAD assisted tech.
I think billionaires swinging at the gallows is better than Palantir existing.

Alex Karp thinks people only care about one kind of surveillance. And he thinks he will alleviate our fears if he gives us a pinky promise not to surveil us in that one way.
That way is cheating.
He later brings this up again, saying that most surveillance technology isnβt determining, βAm I shagging too many people on the side and lying to my partner?β Your guess is as good as any as to what thatβs all about.
Well, thanks for clearing that up, Alex. That was indeed my sole concern.
(The rest of the article is full of indecipherable quotes from Alex, which demonstrates you don't need to be smart to be rich.)
