    Palantir CEO see’s AI reshaping 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?
