Take anything Palantir says about democracy as either a dog whistle or a threat. Palantirs product is mass surveillance and criminal behavior prediction (location, whereabouts, movement patterns). That’s authoritarian, but not necessarily antidemocratic. You can still vote and be a democracy with mass (edit: typo was with ass survelliance…might still work) surveillance, don’t conflate it.

Where the anti Democratic comes in is using that surveillance to prevent people from exercising their right to vote and manipulating their information so they vote how you want. That’s what Palantir is enabling.

Aside: Its nuts how accurate their name is in spirit. Almost commendable they carried through embracing the name and the power behind it.

You know in certain animal groups when a member of the herd or whatever becomes a danger to the rest of the group, say through some kind of disease or injury or increased aggression or mental issue, that heard will eliminate the threat to the herd.

@remington he said that AI is going to hurt women and help working class males? This is just rubbish, it’s not a shocking confession. Working class males? I think you’re referring to service production jobs and those are not increasing based on AI. So the CEO is trying to appeal to them by throwing women on a burning cross as usual. If men would stop agreeing to sacrifice women, we would be a much more powerful force of proletariat. And we don’t want AI to be in charge of us

I’d not have put the clickbait “shocking” in the hed, but regardless, we’re running out of things to take off. Masks, gloves … they want us totally naked, and preferably underage.

I like the idea that they think that educated jobs only belong to women. That’s an interesting thought.

The sad truth is that this shit isn’t going to replace “highly educated” jobs, and that the AI gravy train will end once people start to enforce basic intellectual property enforcement. Time is ticking, and the market taking a hit now is making them scramble.
