False dichotomy, much?

"Owner of surveillance apparatus reckons we should all just chill and accept total surveillance"

This fucking dude.

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

China WILL win the AI race and that’s because they invested in infrastructure and their power grid.

The US could have done that too, but we gave the money to billionaires instead. Building a surveillance state doesn’t fix any of the mistakes we made and they’ll still win the AI race.

"A surveillance state is needed to beat china who is evil because it's a surveillance state"

a surveillance megacorp says surveillance is good and needed. cartoonish evil.

Breaking News.

Man with vested interest in selling his services, insists buying his services is the only way to save us from the evil foreign menace

Man who is the CEO of a business selling mass surveillance beyond the likes of even George Orwell's 1984 says we should run head first into a surveillance state from which he will directly profit from.

Boy I wish we as a society would stop reporting on these sociopathic vampires spouting whatever nonsense just popped into their heads

Actual humans believe life without Palantir is preferable to China winning the AI race.

The public needs public mass surveillance on CEOs and the top 1% only. They are the top threat to the world

His head on a pike would be preferrable to both.

Ahh yes. The only 2 options

This guy needs to fuck right off.

us winning the ai race. china winning the ai race. who gives a shit i still wont care about ai.

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

The what race? No one has been working on AI for a while... if he means LLMs and similar generative models there's only the race to see how long it takes for the models to be so poisoned by being trained on their own slop that they no longer can produce the illusion of giving useful results (seems like the current generation is almost there, already giving diminishing results), and the race to extract as much money as possible from the economy before the first one ends and the bubble pops...

Aliens (even illegal ones) are preferable to an asteroid strike, too.

Too bad they aren’t mutually exclusive.

Hell no

I bet you'd be able to get a great grip on his hair as you wind up with the other hand for that oh-so-punchable face.

False dichotomy.

Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to ~~China Winning the AI Race~~ Palantir shareholders not getting rich fast enough

Fixed it

If you've never seen this guy giving a talk, it's worth looking at. This guy is a total tweeker. Can't sit still, and has insane thoughts he's just willing to say in public.

Punchable face.

Also, Butlerian Jihad When?

i wish i could palantir my nuts on his face

You're not going to beat the Chinese government by being worse than them. You beat them by helping the Chinese figure out the Chinese Government is bad. By being worse than them you just set yourself up to be destroyed the same way they will be.

Fuckin lunatics.

Can somebody please hack this guys socials and leak all his private info so we see him eat his words?

How would a surveillance state even prevent that?

Look at this unfuckable loser. He's like if someone glued Steve Bannon's pubes to Steven Miller's head. "Let us destroy all freedom in the USA so China doesn't win the race to economically out-compete the USA" is as bullshit a justification as there has ever been for anything in the history of everything.

This is Bubble-101. Before the thing exists, imagine the future...

threatening that another country will get there first combined with pure players like Nvidia, the uncertainty of whether or not it could be a good investment and being able to convince governments and investors to pump money into it.

If AGI ever becomes what they are promising, everything after 2022 should be a case study for marketing and communications students because they are doing a piss-poor job inspiring confidence and just sound like grifters.

We are going in that direction. Data centers being built all over the place is the very foundation for tracking every human on the planet.

I think future generations will not have any ability to go online, shop, work or live without a real id tracking everything about them.

You voice your concerns about something unpopular online, you may be blocked from taking a loan or work a job. Fear of stating your true opinion will be everywhere.

The whole reason China winning would be bad is because of their surveillance state ensuring no one gets around their curtailment of civil liberties...

Every day that goes by I better understand what Ted Kaczynski saw.

Some stupid ass logic

Any ways to actively help China win the AI race?

Hypothetically, of course.

This guy is the maker of surveillance states.
