Palantir CEO Alex Karp wants new AI technology to "disrupt humanity's train"

this, evil, sick, fascist POS

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."

That train might run him over when it goes off the rails. The tech bros are sounding more and more like a group of incels.

Benign, social contract aware, guardrailed AI agents with women minders.

World would 100% be a better place.

It sounds like he's making threats, but I don't get how he plans to mess with the algorithms.

i.e. If you AI companies want to continue to grow and profit, you're going to have to offer the Government and the Military Industrial Complex your product without guardrails, and you're going to have to frame this as the ONLY WAY to maintain "truth, justice, and the American way".

Karp, besides currently providing the government with snooping software for total information awareness, is all in on developing autonomous AI weapons in the name of defending "Western values".

The Mouth of Sauron. Palantir was seeing eye stone used by Sauron. This company is the epitome of evil.
This company came out of In-Q-Tel. It is the CIA. Venture capital firm. They find outside funding to promote tech. Bypasses all congressional oversight. Black budget. Answer to no one.
