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 internationally trained talent the got, and the industrial base to 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.

Why can’t we win the AI race and still not have a surveillance state? Those don’t seem like they have to be linked…

because the government subdidizes the company that would have the survellience tech, which is stable profit.

Because this would be bad for his business

I think billionaires swinging at the gallows is better than Palantir existing.

or when they dont have a “good head” on thier shoulders.

It may be even better than sliced bread.

I’d rather be a free and open society than win any kind of industrial race.

Boy I wish we as a society would stop reporting on these sociopathic vampires spouting whatever nonsense just popped into their heads
brachiosaurus@mander.xyz 5 months ago
In this case we should indeed report on them because it is not much clear to the public what palantir does and they have ties and contracts with the government
Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
How would you know that they are sociopathic vampires if no one reported on what they believed in?

By the sheer amount of accumulated wealth.

I can’t wait to see this guy hanging by his left nut while people take shots at him like a piñata.

its nothing more than a creation of thiel, a soulless puppet animated from various materials.

Aliens (even illegal ones) are preferable to an asteroid strike, too.
Too bad they aren’t mutually exclusive.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 months ago
what about illegal space aliens.

I mean, from his perspective, having nothing to lose (besides his soul, ofc, but that’s for silly people 🙄), of course!
count_dongulus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You think the Palantir CEO has a soul? You gaze into that orb once and it’s game over
fletcher_bosom@lemmy.world 5 months ago
False dichotomy, much?
6nk06@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Crazy fucks do that sometimes. I wonder why people still listen to them.
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
These things are completely orthogonal.

You make Karp sad. Why won’t you buy his profit-driven narrative?
