      Idk. If the manager at a local mcdonalds gave an interview calling people stupid as shit and then rambling nonsense, people might suppose the same. The only time I’ve had someone do that to me they were clearly unhoused with some kind of mental health condition.

      This guy is the head of an international corporation, named after an evil entity, owned by a famous Billionaire who is frequently in the news about cartoon villainy. He should ostensibly have some media training that details why this little crashout is sad, pathetic, and embarassing.

        Yeah sure, sad pathetic and embarrassing. I agree. That’s why I said psychopath and nutjob.

        But mental breakdown? Come on. That just conflates people who have legitimate mental health issues with this guy’s lunacy.

        This isn’t Shia LeBouffe masturbating in public, it’s just some evil narcissist losing his shit on camera

          Fair enough. It is hyperbolic, but I’m not sure by how much.

          I will give honorable mention to the pathological greed. If greed wasn’t so celebrated, I’m sure there’d we’d have a proper diagnosis for their insatiability.

    Is it just a bunch of unpleasant people getting rich who ask obnoxious questions and refuse to answer the questions that they’re being asked?

    Since you’re asking obnoxiously? Yeah

      I was like …Yes mf just like you said, on top of its evil use in surveillance and war crimes, poisoning nearby living things with frequency noise, destroying our water and electeicty resources and inflating bubble economy on the expense of losing actual jobs

    Truly one of the strangest people in tech. Imagine having been a Marxist and then turning into this? Deranged.

      Nah, he is the perfect example of how nepotism and who you roommate with in college gets you ahead of everyone else. Sadly, using these parameters to choose leadership may be great for the ownership class, but sucks for the rest of the world.

        I have my own personal nepotism at my company where the future son in law of the CEO keeps making shit mistakes that my entire team has to fix. Then we all have to pretend he’s not an idiot and dedicate most of our weekly team meeting to listening to his dumb ass shit.

        So hmm yeah. Nepotism is hard at work.

      Yeah I mean he literally could have just said “I believe that we can have a productive discussion and find common ground in our goals for the future of the technology and the prosperity of the nation” or some such smarmy non-answer. Like…dude immediately assumed hostility instead of listening and seeing the kid gloves he was being handled with already lmao

      Seems he’s perpetually on the back foot and feeling some high anxiety about the bullshit he’s peddling.

          Yeah I have that thought regularly. These idiots can’t just keep to themselves and be rich and do literally whatever the fuck they want, they have to be in the public eye and fuck with our lives. But so far none of them seem mentally stable enough to maintain a good image if they’re in front of the camera enough without a pr person filtering the things they say.

          So I hope it gets to them that no one likes them. I hope they feel supremely lonely. Like that time Elon Musk thought he would be super cool and stream playing PoE but ended up rage quitting in silence while crying (in his private jet) because twitch chat spammed stuff like “Grimes will never love you” and telling him to pay child support. I hope they feel like that every day.

            They’ve been feeling like that already, they don’t need anyone to confront them to feel miserable. It’s because they’re miserable people that they do the shit they do.

        Honestly imagine how much better the traffic for somewhere like greater LA could be made by an AI system using cameras and variable speed limit signs to control the traffic flow.

        If they used A.I to make our lives better in just a few ways I think society in general would be so much more tolerant of their shit.

          Palantir mostly does government contracts. If they haven’t done a traffic system yet, it means no government has asked them to. So this one is on the LA local government as much as it is on the AI companies.

    A salesman that is not that great at selling.

    Kind of reminds me of those sketches about self defense where you have to put your arm here, no here, NO here. Then it doesn’t work anyway.

    The mark already took the bait, just keep your mouth shut and act confident. I don’t get it.

    Mr. Karp how are you still finding so much cocaine after Palantir has supposedly targeted all of the fishing boats carrying it to the US?
