Has anybody seen a real nervous breakdown? Because I've just watched that boring AI tech-nazi vomit his bullshit for 20 minutes waiting for it, and it never came. I demand a refund.

Yeah it's super-annoying when they do clickbait headlines that exaggerate some asshole's behaviour. It's a huge let down and then it's a weird feeling like "it wasn't actually that bad" mixed with "but oh yeah, fuck that guy for other reasons".
His talking points aren't even really interesting. AI is overhyped, companies don't like to lose IP and data to AI companies, etc.
I wish he would have a nervous breakdown and crack in two mentally so he'd get the padded cell he needs.
I don't think y'all have ever seen a nervous breakdown. This is more like an ADHD kid talking about something he's interested in.
They just wasted 20 minutes of my life listening to Alex Karp.
At some point he feels it necessary to say he doesn’t do drugs.
Wait untill he starts talking about killing brown people; sparks start flying.

Hope stress and pain eats his dead heart
Amen.
Is this tool wearing a ST:TNG shirt?
He heard that Star Trek gives ya nerd street cred. Probably thinks the Borg are the good guys.
They already bastardized LotR in stealing Palantir... if that tells you anything
Ya wasn't Palantir the good guys who just wanted to industrialize middle earth and move on into the future and Gandalf and the hobbits were the radical socialists who just wanted chaos and nature and inefficient shit???
Fucking thiel is obsessed by LOTR, everything he touches has to have references to it

Of course the Borg are the good guys, improving their society through technology they've collected from societies all over the galaxy. Everyone should happily assimilate, and be happy drones.
Not the Sociopathic Oligarchs, though, they're too important to be drones.

Here's the segment:

He seemed pretty coherent to me. At times clearly thinking faster than his mouth can keep up but really no big deal.
Pretty interesting how he's fully accepted that there will be "a wealth tax" as a result of a backlash against AI. And how the CEOs he knows are "livid" about how totally useless AI is even after they jumped in boots and all, lol

I wish I were as confident as he is...
So typical of these clickbait headlines. Every time I see a headline about how someone melted down, it turns out to be someone who sputtered for half a moment in the middle of an argument. Same for any headline talking about how someone was “absolutely eviscerated” in a debate. Setting aside the metaphorical license, it’s always just a case where their opponent made a good point somewhere during an argument. There might be no reaction from anyone. Just whoever agrees with that point will say “yes he was eviscerated.”
Fucking clickbait.
3:44 - [our customers] want to know they own the means of production.
Does he even know what that means...
I think so. He meant the capitalists, who are his customers, want to own their means of production. Not rent it from their competitors or suppliers.
First time I've seen that phrase used that way but it works.

Maybe he sprayed himself with a bit too much of that fentanyl laced cat piss.
If you do not get the reference... he previously said that he'd like to be able to dispatch drones that would do that to basically anyone who annoys him.
Somehow more camp and pathetic than an actual comic book supervillain.

God I hope every single one of these motherfuckers loses their shirt, pants, and every goddamn thing they own.
I hope they lose their heads
Just their eyes, noses, tongues, hands, and feet. Let them keep their ears so they can hear the disgust and disdain that people have for them when they're reduced to begging in the same streets where they paved over the hopes and dreams of the poor.

Nah let them keep their heads, after all the rope needs it to support the body.
Wizard Pope didn't specify which head. The rope and the pruning shears are not mutually exclusive.

They need to lose their fingernails, one by one, then eyelids, then tongue, then ears, then nose, then eyes.
They're ghouls on the inside, this is just .... soul-type affirming care, or something like that.
Has nobody ever seen another interview with this guy? Nearly every interview I've seen of him is exactly like this. This is just what he does.
Yeah, an amphetamine crash will do that.
Now he has to suck his boss' dick.
Still alive though 😔
This was a triumph…
I'm making a note here: huge success!
Every day humanity fails in some very basic tasks that would ensure our future
For his next interview he should try to make his own head explode
maybe you should stop being thiels puppet.
Too much money and drugs perhaps?
I despise Alex Karp and Palantir, but this feels like a pathetic attempt to discredit him, for reasonably throwing shade on grossly over-valued AI products, unsuitable within the context of critical infrastructure and enterprise. His Berkeley faculty member argument simply seems to be an analogy, for other models being capable of performing the task, but it simply not going to happen in his belief. This article appears to serve stakeholders of the AI bubble.
Fucking cunt.
Good!
Until he's facing the end of a gun and fears for his life, he doesn't really give a shit.
ai madness is a scary thing heh
