Has anybody seen a real nervous breakdown? Because I've just watched that boring AI tech-nazi vomit his bullshit for 20 minutes waiting for it, and it never came. I demand a refund.
I wish he would have a nervous breakdown and crack in two mentally so he'd get the padded cell he needs.
Yeah it's super-annoying when they do clickbait headlines that exaggerate some asshole's behaviour. It's a huge let down and then it's a weird feeling like "it wasn't actually that bad" mixed with "but oh yeah, fuck that guy for other reasons".
ai madness is a scary thing heh
CEO said a thing
Is this tool wearing a ST:TNG shirt?
He heard that Star Trek gives ya nerd street cred. Probably thinks the Borg are the good guys.
Of course the Borg are the good guys, improving their society through technology they've collected from societies all over the galaxy. Everyone should happily assimilate, and be happy drones.
Not the Sociopathic Oligarchs, though, they're too important to be drones.
They already bastardized LotR in stealing Palantir... if that tells you anything
i believe thiel likely read a perverted version called the last ringbearer.
Fucking thiel is obsessed by LOTR, everything he touches has to have references to it
Ya wasn't Palantir the good guys who just wanted to industrialize middle earth and move on into the future and Gandalf and the hobbits were the radical socialists who just wanted chaos and nature and inefficient shit???
Doesn't he know the guy's gone back to calling himself Gordon Sumner?
Has nobody ever seen another interview with this guy? Nearly every interview I've seen of him is exactly like this. This is just what he does.
Hope stress and pain eats his dead heart
Will no one give a thought for the persecuted billionaires?
Couldn't happen to a nicer person
🤣
Yeah, an amphetamine crash will do that.
Fucking cunt.
For his next interview he should try to make his own head explode
I don't think y'all have ever seen a nervous breakdown. This is more like an ADHD kid talking about something he's interested in.
They just wasted 20 minutes of my life listening to Alex Karp.
At some point he feels it necessary to say he doesn’t do drugs.
I think the discussion he had when he thought he wasn’t live was enough for me to think he was losing it. Where he’s like acting like cnbc is different from the other girls. He was embarrassed there and talking himself into circles. A guy like that probably feels a really bad way right now like rage when he looks at the internet kinda bad.
God I hope every single one of these motherfuckers loses their shirt, pants, and every goddamn thing they own.
They need to lose their fingernails, one by one, then eyelids, then tongue, then ears, then nose, then eyes.
They're ghouls on the inside, this is just .... soul-type affirming care, or something like that.
I hope they lose their heads
Just their eyes, noses, tongues, hands, and feet. Let them keep their ears so they can hear the disgust and disdain that people have for them when they're reduced to begging in the same streets where they paved over the hopes and dreams of the poor.

Here's the segment:

He seemed pretty coherent to me. At times clearly thinking faster than his mouth can keep up but really no big deal.
Pretty interesting how he's fully accepted that there will be "a wealth tax" as a result of a backlash against AI. And how the CEOs he knows are "livid" about how totally useless AI is even after they jumped in boots and all, lol
Maybe he sprayed himself with a bit too much of that fentanyl laced cat piss.
If you do not get the reference... he previously said that he'd like to be able to dispatch drones that would do that to basically anyone who annoys him.
Somehow more camp and pathetic than an actual comic book supervillain.
So typical of these clickbait headlines. Every time I see a headline about how someone melted down, it turns out to be someone who sputtered for half a moment in the middle of an argument. Same for any headline talking about how someone was “absolutely eviscerated” in a debate. Setting aside the metaphorical license, it’s always just a case where their opponent made a good point somewhere during an argument. There might be no reaction from anyone. Just whoever agrees with that point will say “yes he was eviscerated.”
Fucking clickbait.

I wish I were as confident as he is...
He's not. It's a thinly veiled attempt to pump crypto.
It's also a thinly veiled attempt to land at tax other than 100%, and overseen by courts that we suspect he has influence over.
I like the confidence. I imagine things could still go that well for him. Everyone should get a chance to dream of nice things.
For someone who has taken so much from the rest of us, a mere tax could be a pretty nice outcome.
How does this accomplish that?
If wealth is in crypto maybe they think it can't be found to be taxed
