False dichotomy, much?
Crazy fucks do that sometimes. I wonder why people still listen to them.
Breaking News.
Man with vested interest in selling his services, insists buying his services is the only way to save us from the evil foreign menace
If you read his book The Technological Republic, he calls for a « collectivist » ideology and the merger of corporation and state. A few historical examples to choose from would be Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia or Communist China to get an idea of his vision for America’s future.
"Owner of surveillance apparatus reckons we should all just chill and accept total surveillance"
This fucking dude.
Like seriously, in what reality are these two things NOT mutually exclusive? Also doesn't palantir have contracts with China?
I'd rather be a free and open society than win any kind of industrial race.
Man who is the CEO of a business selling mass surveillance beyond the likes of even George Orwell's 1984 says we should run head first into a surveillance state from which he will directly profit from.
His head on a pike would be preferrable to both.
Look at this unfuckable loser. He's like if someone glued Steve Bannon's pubes to Steven Miller's head. "Let us destroy all freedom in the USA so China doesn't win the race to economically out-compete the USA" is as bullshit a justification as there has ever been for anything in the history of everything.
Ahh yes. The only 2 options
Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to ~~China Winning the AI Race~~ Palantir shareholders not getting rich fast enough
Fixed it

"It's just... We're named after the artifact the ancient evil used to peer on the world."
"A surveillance state is needed to beat china who is evil because it's a surveillance state"
Every day that goes by I better understand what Ted Kaczynski saw.
How would a surveillance state even prevent that?
The public needs public mass surveillance on CEOs and the top 1% only. They are the top threat to the world
I mean, from his perspective, having nothing to lose (besides his soul, ofc, but that's for silly people 🙄), of course!
Hell no
Let me second that... Oh hell, no
Nothing is permanent
The whole reason China winning would be bad is because of their surveillance state ensuring no one gets around their curtailment of civil liberties...
Those are the only two options???
