    67% of people who voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 and 50% of Trump voters—picked support for workers put out of work by AI.

    As usual, MAGA reveals itself to be full of shit. 50% support the elites over the working class. WTF?

      These are the people who are convinced that having more money proves you’re a superior person and therefore deserving of still more money. They’re the common clay who believe capitalism’s propaganda unquestioningly as the wisdom of their betters.

      Maga loves this reality changing - hallucinogenic technology more than any other group it seems.

    Palantir CEO wants to reshape the economy

    Once you get beyond all the disruptive disruptions, it seems that what Karp is saying is that AI is eventually going to hurt the economic position of Democrats in general, and highly educated female voters in particular – and that will have knock-on effects politically. Meanwhile working-class male voters will emerge as the winners of our reshaped economy.

    The extent to which this is accurate is debatable; blue-collar jobs may be less vulnerable to AI in the short-term, but technology is coming for those occupations too. However, I think the really interesting question here is this: was Karp’s assessment a warning or was it a sales pitch?
