Here's the segment:

He seemed pretty coherent to me. At times clearly thinking faster than his mouth can keep up but really no big deal.
Pretty interesting how he's fully accepted that there will be "a wealth tax" as a result of a backlash against AI. And how the CEOs he knows are "livid" about how totally useless AI is even after they jumped in boots and all, lol

I wish I were as confident as he is...
He's not. It's a thinly veiled attempt to pump crypto.
How does this accomplish that?
It's also a thinly veiled attempt to land at tax other than 100%, and overseen by courts that we suspect he has influence over.
I like the confidence. I imagine things could still go that well for him. Everyone should get a chance to dream of nice things.
For someone who has taken so much from the rest of us, a mere tax could be a pretty nice outcome.
3:44 - [our customers] want to know they own the means of production.
Does he even know what that means...
I think so. He meant the capitalists, who are his customers, want to own their means of production. Not rent it from their competitors or suppliers.
First time I've seen that phrase used that way but it works.
It does indeed! He's ranting about a capital tax too, where he just means 'the cost of tokens'. He's flailing wildly.
So typical of these clickbait headlines. Every time I see a headline about how someone melted down, it turns out to be someone who sputtered for half a moment in the middle of an argument. Same for any headline talking about how someone was “absolutely eviscerated” in a debate. Setting aside the metaphorical license, it’s always just a case where their opponent made a good point somewhere during an argument. There might be no reaction from anyone. Just whoever agrees with that point will say “yes he was eviscerated.”
Fucking clickbait.
Thanks, and yeah lol, the guy is definitely coherent. He's using a lot of technical jargon and also has that weird "cult leader" / CEO way of speaking to draw people in. Talking weird seems like a prerequisite to make it to the top lol.
I think what he's saying with "We don't need to oversell this" is "hyping of AI" is inflating the economy and creating a bubble that has adverse effects on everybody. The problem is overhyped growth and inflation, not AI in itself. And AI is growing too fast because of grifters. A type of "pre-enshittification".
Which seems a reasonable take. I think the anthropic guy said something similar with a moratorium or AI development, to slow down.
"We have to find ways to make these models raise the standards of living for every American"
He's presumably a horrible person aiding in the genocide of Gaza and empowering the worst of humanity, so this most likely just PR lies. He'll probably lobby against every single policy that raises the standards of living. He touting the same "extreme left just as bad as extreme right" (neo)liberal bullshit. The same "adults in the room centrism" nonsense. Probably offering to use Palantir to combat people like Mamdani (who are effectively moderate). And "half the people criticizing Israel don't think it has a right to exist" is vile too.
But the headline is just disinfo. It's probably just grifters slinging dirt back. Or "flack" in Chomsky's propaganda model. The article reads like a disgusting polemic hackjob. Really nasty journalism by Joe Wilkins, meant to distract from any discussion of the actual issues of what he's saying, and what many CEOs are probably thinking.
I don't think y'all have ever seen a nervous breakdown. This is more like an ADHD kid talking about something he's interested in.
They just wasted 20 minutes of my life listening to Alex Karp.
At some point he feels it necessary to say he doesn’t do drugs.
Wait untill he starts talking about killing brown people; sparks start flying.
Brown, white, yellow.... Doesn't matter to him.
Has anybody seen a real nervous breakdown? Because I've just watched that boring AI tech-nazi vomit his bullshit for 20 minutes waiting for it, and it never came. I demand a refund.
Yeah it's super-annoying when they do clickbait headlines that exaggerate some asshole's behaviour. It's a huge let down and then it's a weird feeling like "it wasn't actually that bad" mixed with "but oh yeah, fuck that guy for other reasons".
God I hope every single one of these motherfuckers loses their shirt, pants, and every goddamn thing they own.
I hope they lose their heads
Just their eyes, noses, tongues, hands, and feet. Let them keep their ears so they can hear the disgust and disdain that people have for them when they're reduced to begging in the same streets where they paved over the hopes and dreams of the poor.
Nah let them keep their heads, after all the rope needs it to support the body.
Wizard Pope didn't specify which head. The rope and the pruning shears are not mutually exclusive.
Still alive though 😔
This was a triumph…
I'm making a note here: huge success!
It’s haaaard to overstate my satisfaction.
Every day humanity fails in some very basic tasks that would ensure our future
I despise Alex Karp and Palantir, but this feels like a pathetic attempt to discredit him, for reasonably throwing shade on grossly over-valued AI products, unsuitable within the context of critical infrastructure and enterprise. His Berkeley faculty member argument simply seems to be an analogy, for other models being capable of performing the task, but it simply not going to happen in his belief. This article appears to serve stakeholders of the AI bubble.
Hope stress and pain eats his dead heart
Yeah, an amphetamine crash will do that.
Looks like an EvE profile image.
Couldn't happen to a nicer person
For his next interview he should try to make his own head explode
Is this tool wearing a ST:TNG shirt?
He heard that Star Trek gives ya nerd street cred. Probably thinks the Borg are the good guys.
They already bastardized LotR in stealing Palantir... if that tells you anything
Ya wasn't Palantir the good guys who just wanted to industrialize middle earth and move on into the future and Gandalf and the hobbits were the radical socialists who just wanted chaos and nature and inefficient shit???
Of course the Borg are the good guys, improving their society through technology they've collected from societies all over the galaxy. Everyone should happily assimilate, and be happy drones.
Not the Sociopathic Oligarchs, though, they're too important to be drones.
Has nobody ever seen another interview with this guy? Nearly every interview I've seen of him is exactly like this. This is just what he does.
Until he's facing the end of a gun and fears for his life, he doesn't really give a shit.
Good!
Fucking cunt.

Shame there weren't any open windows about
maybe you should stop being thiels puppet.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
