Palantir CEO Alex Karp is sick and tired of his critics. That much is clear. But during the Yahoo Finance Invest Conference Thursday, he escalated his counteroffensive, aimed squarely at analysts, journalists, and political commentators who have long attacked the company as a symbol of an encroaching surveillance state, or as overvalued.
Billionaire says this. Billionaire says that. I don’t give a fuck what this parasite says. Him and others like him will face their reckoning day.
“Patriotism will make you rich.”
If you can’t smell the grift and propaganda coming off of this pile of shit then you’re a dangerously stupid human being.
Hmmm yes, the OLIGARKHALSHUGGARE
Palantir is a multinational data capture and analytics company.
What exactly is he/it being patriotic to? The US? If so, the company should be banned everywhere else in the world.
Murdering Palestinians with Palantir enabled kill-chains in military networking solutions.
That kind of Patriotism.
What exactly is he/it being patriotic to?
To himself obviously. You can even feel the narcissism coming from his fucking face.
Israel
Palantir sounds like it could a russian multinational data capture and analytics company.
Violating everyone’s 4th amendment rights is unpatriotic
But is it very fascist, and that’s so hot right now.
But didn’t you hear, he is making money from it so he should be entitled to continue
This company should be dismantled and Thiel and Karp should be arrested for violations of our fourth amendment rights. Treason. Prosecute to fullest extent of the law
We’ll need to ask them if they’d like to waive any other rights along with their fourth. Like maybe their eighth
While detractors warn Palantir fuels the surveillance state, Karp argues the company exists to prevent abuses of power—by making the U.S. so technologically dominant it rarely needs to project force.
Does this make any sense at all? Even if they were able to make it the U.S. never needs to “project force”, how does that have any bearing on preventing abuse or the U.S. becoming a surveillance state.
Preventing abuse by giving them everything they want, so they don’t get mad and start abusing all of the stuff that was just given to them.
Exactly. It’s a power move to change the subject. Imagine addressing people’s issues… you’re just sitting in their domain. You have to change what people are talking about too. He doesn’t need to keep defending against X, Y, and Z if we start attacking his idea of “the greater good” and “agentic force projection.”
There is nothing patriotic about spying on your neighbors, I thought we learned that several times already.
Leeching off a dying empire with miltech… Now who’s the real parasite Alex?
This dude looks like the villain of the last gen v season
It’s literally a tool specifically designed to accelerate and maintain fascism.
I am completely ok with putting multiple cameras in your (Alex’s) home, work place and also making all your emails and messages public. All for the sake of patriotism ofcourse nothing else. Afterall if you have nothing to hide why wouldn’t you be ok with people reading your emails.
The glorious nation demands to watch you shit. Glory to Amerikkka home of the patriotic camera.
Or you know if you love America you could remember that those who trade freedom for security deserve neither and that one of our fundamental rights is to privacy from the government.
Ah yes, the old slap some, “patriotic” shit on it.
A word I’ve been tired of for about 20 years now. I remember once all the bush s*** happened after 9:11 in the invasion of Iraq, Patriot became the new badge of honor of morons.
I remember actually having a few conversations or even debates with people over politics and then suddenly they would shout “what, you don’t think I’m a fucking patriot?”
What boring dystopia we’ve been in for the past couple of decades.
These people remind me of the men who love their family enough to kill or die for them, but not enough to carry their weight in chores, to show vulnerability, to sincerely listen when needs are expressed…
To these patriots the nation is something to kill and die for. It’s about big displays of badassery. They aren’t willing to volunteer for their country, to give up a portion of their money to ensure everyone eats and gets medicine, to live with uncertainty so that all accused people have their rights respected or so that convicted people have the chance to demonstrate rehabilitation. Their love is tied to machismo, and just as they are bad parents, they too are bad citizens.
Let’s be honest. These knobs aren’t typically fighting or dying for anything.
Oh absolutely not, they’re all talk. But, I do think it’s worth speaking as if they were honest here because so fucking what. You’ll die for your kid but you won’t volunteer at their school or be a scoutmaster or anything like that? A dad isn’t a soldier, a dad is a parent, and parents are supposed to be involved in their kids’ lives and actively teaching them how to become well adjusted adults
Yup. Being a dad is 100% the most important and involved thing I’ve ever done.
Builds army of surveillance tools
“Stop calling it surveillance” These people would be so funny if they didn’t have such a negative impact on millions of people
Patriotic nationalism is a religion that worships dirt.
Surveillance can only ever be used for oppression.
Financial obesity is neurotoxic.
