  Lots of people will be happier the day Peter Thiel dies… He’s disliked in the same range as Musk, without having anywhere near the public presence.

    Which makes him more dangerous than Musk IMO, as he's wise enough to operate in the shadow.

    Musk is a narcissist who got very lucky in life. But still he is a human, bad human but relatable in the sense you understand his flaws.

    Thiel is something else. Sociopath I guess. Dude is not human and doesn’t function according to any understandable human psychology

      Before settling in Foster City, California, in 1977, the Thiel family lived in South Africa and South West Africa (modern-day Namibia). Peter changed elementary schools seven times. He attended a German-language school in Swakopmund that required students to wear uniforms and utilized corporal punishment, such as striking students’ hands with a ruler. He said this experience instilled a distaste for uniformity and regimentation later reflected in his support for individualism and libertarianism.[20][21] The German community in Swakopmund that Thiel grew up in was known at the time for its continued glorification of Nazism.[22][23]

      Thiel and Muskrat cut from the same cloth of trustfund babies and apartheid benefactors, m8

    Peter Thiel is one of the many money men that want to privatize everything, dismantle federal government, hand keys to “network states” (company towns but somehow worse).

    Goal is none or self regulation. Maximize profits. They want to shape the world into this hyper capitalistic society and surveillance state. Palantir is just one of those companies in a massive portfolio to fulfill this stupid dream shared by many industrialists.

    Waiting for them to die is the best you can do since you all keep voting for 1 of the 2 parties that serve these oligarchs.

      I tend to vote for the Australian Greens party. They never seem to win the US elections though.

  It’s strangely appropriate that these bastards named themselves after the magical sphere that Sauron used to turn Sarumon evil in LotR.

    Sarumon, nice typo.

    Sauron used conversations and scenes to turn Saruman charmed and deadly frightened. Over the palantir, which was a device to see the future, the past, the probable, close and far away. Thus also a communication device.

    So basically their name refers to knowing things which are not their fucking concern. Not what you said.

  Everyone hates Palantir, but the only difference between them and every other massive tech company, is they started off evil rather than having to work their way up to it.

  Anyone that works for that company at any level deserves the absolute worst

  Ed Snowden in only warned us about them 13 years ago.

  source

  • Bloomcole@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yes but then they worked for Blue MAGA, so they were OK.
    Unlike Snowden who had to run bcs Obama wanted him arrested.

      Yeah, the hypocrisy on both sides is disgusting.

      Really puts into perspective how few rational people are left in the world.

  I always try to explain that he’s worse, because he’s far more effective IMO

  I would not be surprised if Palantir told Krasnov not to fuck around and disturb their live-fire Ukrainian laboratory.

  palintir has always worked for defense like for 10+years

• why0y@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I don’t talk back about defense nowadays. Running your mouth just gets you sicker and sicker and on top might be a big hole in your foot.

  If you think the Internet is a haven of free speech, you might not have read the memos.

  I think Palantir is good for America. Aside from the whole eightys scifi hellscape thing.
