His investment in Objection.ai points to a new model: private investigations, AI verdicts, and accountability mechanisms that operate outside democratic institutions.

The state ceding the monopoly of violence to a surveillance corporation would be considered too on the face to be the plot of a cyberpunk dystopia and yet here we are living in the worlds dumbest dystopia.

How is the current administration not treason. Answers your initial question, I think.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Does it really matter if checks and balances have been wiped out? Seems like just a label.

[-] Heikki2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

JD Vance is still riding his dick.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

so is sam altman, his other puppet.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Because it operates within the law? It's a binding arbitration company.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Because he's... Say it with me....

RICH AND WHITE!

So when the food crisis hits from the straight of Hormuz fertilizer issue, maybe let's eat this guy first.

[-] Luisp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

So fascists want no accountability, how rare

[-] horse@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

I suggest building a parallel justice system for Peter Thiel. It will be powered by guillotines.

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 4 points 1 month ago

So he read that Frank Herbert quote about "permitted other men with machines to enslave them" and thought it was a great idea

[-] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

lol, he publicly identifies as a Sauron cosplayer

cf. $companyName

...but he's actually more like a sweaty Zorg, as a cartoon villain.

[-] artifex@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

I imagine he’s going to try and deploy this in that totally unregulated Freedom City that he and Trump are trying to launch on some federal property in CA.

[-] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

Nah, he is going to deploy it as the de-facto arbitrator for private industry. You wave your write to sue virtually every time you sign a TOS. This will replace arbitration because that is already a parallel legal system exclusively for corporations.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Peter Thiel should be in prison.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

wouldve been if gawker wasnt sued to the ground, apparently they were reporting on things like these decades ago, he was just using the gay excuse to obfuscate his role and bankrolling hot-dog skin hogans lawsuit.

[-] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Oh wow, The Antichrist himself spinning up his own justice system. Sounds much fairer than a jury of your peers.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

[-] oldwoodenship@lemmus.org 1 points 1 month ago

I’m fine with just euthanizing them the old fashioned way; cancerous growth can only be allowed for so long before the rest of the body fails.

History has shown time and again that if you give the lower classes nothing to live for or buy into a society then violent revolution usually follows.

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Just what we need, a justice system based on pre-existing biases

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

hes hoping the govt will give him contracts throughout the world, seeing is likely is AI companies are not faring as well as it should be. thiel dint report that the datacenters are probably costing him tons of money,.

Israel heavily depends on palantir AI to "give them targets" in palestine.

[-] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's only parallel for now.

Once we contract judges and the justice system to Palantir to avoid costly things like humans passing judgement, then think of the savings!

That or we get one of those Network State Praxis type things.

"Run the government like a business."

🤡

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

Putting aside the problems in the current system, let's not call Thiel's system a justice system until we can see some results and verify they are just, 'k?

[-] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It'll NEVER be a """justice""" system; it'll just be a way for the Ultra-Wealthy to legitimize their oppression and handwave the consequences as a "decision by AI". Mysteriously, oh-so-mysteriously, the verdicts will ALWAYS align with Thiel's interests.

[-] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The justice system was always about helping the rich

[-] TheGreatRapsBeat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I feel like this is the origin story to a script of a film Chris Pratt would definitely star in… …Oh wait…

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Without reading the article, algorithms have been used in sentencing, and I think charging in some places but not sure exactly, for some time, well over ten years, to detrimental effect.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

At least with algorithms the calculation is transparent. AI is so much worse because it's a black box

[-] xSikes@feddit.online 1 points 1 month ago

Throw water on it

[-] musket528@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

thiel talking about justice is ironic

[-] scytale@piefed.zip 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Might as well have Judgeman at this point.
