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

I wish I were as confident as he is...

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He's not. It's a thinly veiled attempt to pump crypto.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How does this accomplish that?

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.

3:44 - [our customers] want to know they own the means of production.

Does he even know what that means...

[–] rimu@piefed.social 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think so. He meant the capitalists, who are his customers, want to own their means of production. Not rent it from their competitors or suppliers.

First time I've seen that phrase used that way but it works.

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It does indeed! He's ranting about a capital tax too, where he just means 'the cost of tokens'. He's flailing wildly.

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 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.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They just wasted 20 minutes of my life listening to Alex Karp.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 week ago

At some point he feels it necessary to say he doesn’t do drugs.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] BaraCoded@literature.cafe 75 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

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".

God I hope every single one of these motherfuckers loses their shirt, pants, and every goddamn thing they own.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I hope they lose their heads

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

Nah let them keep their heads, after all the rope needs it to support the body.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wizard Pope didn't specify which head. The rope and the pruning shears are not mutually exclusive.

Every day humanity fails in some very basic tasks that would ensure our future

[–] Lanske@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago

Hope stress and pain eats his dead heart

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

Yeah, an amphetamine crash will do that.

For his next interview he should try to make his own head explode

Is this tool wearing a ST:TNG shirt?

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He heard that Star Trek gives ya nerd street cred. Probably thinks the Borg are the good guys.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (3 children)

They already bastardized LotR in stealing Palantir... if that tells you anything

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

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???

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Fucking thiel is obsessed by LOTR, everything he touches has to have references to it

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.

Couldn't happen to a nicer person

[–] Turious@leaf.dance 21 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 week ago

Until he's facing the end of a gun and fears for his life, he doesn't really give a shit.
