Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men. “This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”

what a misogynistic zionist piece of shit

I mean, he's not wrong about the first part. AI is fucking with humanities. I don't see how AI is going to help the male vocational working class though.

It "helps" by thinking life is a zero sum game. If educated females lose, obviously that's a win for uneducated males.

Realistically it's just a lie to say that someone will be a winner other than just the guy with all the marbles.

this is assumption on my part but, what I'm hearing is... AI will replace jobs for smart women, AI will have a more difficult time replacing physical labor jobs more often held by men...

The implication being that these now-unemployed women will enter into relationships with the blue-collar men to survive. The Epstein class certainly seems to be going all-in on traditional gender roles. Anything to get their human cattle breeding again, I suppose.

I think it's more just pandering to right-wing chuds because Karp is trying to win them over.

He may also be lost in the sauce of misogyny.

Bourgeois democracy was already found to be kayfabe so 🤷
The ancien régime has decided there’s nothing to be gained from democratic pantomiming anymore.

I just love how the mask is finally off, and they're just openly telling us what they're doing. It's refreshing really.

This sounds like a lot of wishful thinking about the best case scenario of a technology that hasn't even proven that is useful for anything, especially at the enormous costs involved.

What technology does Palantir have? never heard of a large LLM coming from them, their tech keeps burning kids in tents, their anti-fraud algorithm borrowed from Paypal is a massive joke? am I the only one not seeing what tech are they talking about?

They have an internal "Kill-chain" that they have integrated AI with for use in Palantir. They are probably one of the most evil companies on earth right now, and they are proud of it as well. Saw a documentary where they are developing systems together with Health care companies in the US to use AI to find weaknesses in people health insurance claims, thereby denying them, and saving the company money. And that's not to talk about using the AI to actually murder people in different wars. Sadistic fucks.

I have no doubt they are evil, I am saying they are not good with technology too
