Yesterday Palantir posted a manifesto summarizing a book by its crazy CEO, Alex Karp. Link to Threadreader page.

Bat-shit, dog house, bag of weasels crazy…..🤪

Let me see if I can summarize; it sucks that 80% or more people on earth have not seen a world war. Everyone needs to be in the military, get rid of volunteer service. Civil service is bad, we pay them too much. Billionaires need to be listened to, not just ignored while they make more money. We don’t need our enemies to fear nuclear weapons anymore, we need them to fear AI.

Yea, so…..

Eat shit and die motherfuckers….
