What is with people always using Marxist as some sort of big insult in the last couple years?

[-] monomon@programming.dev 4 points 1 hour ago

They dream of reviving McCarthyism

This fucking AI Trot still thinks anyone on this planet doesn’t think he’s completely psychotic?

[-] nyan@lemmy.cafe 8 points 4 hours ago

Only if the Marx they're talking about is Groucho.

[-] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago

I am so sick of these hyper rich psycho assholes.

[-] FoxtrotDeltaTango@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, Same here honestly. Can someone please assassinate him

[-] jobbies@lemmy.zip 45 points 7 hours ago

So, Elon Musk is Marxist? Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg are Marxist? Basically the richest, most selfish, most 'fuck the prolitariat' people on earth are MARXIST?

Do these fucking wallopers hear themselves speak?

if you're far enough to the right apparently everyone looks like a Marxist. Even Hitler was a National Socialist (Socialist!)

[-] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 52 points 9 hours ago

I don‘t know why his political opinions would be worth a headline. He was a Hillary Clinton supporter, calls himself socialist but also vehemently anti-woke, and thinks immigrants equal crime. He may have studied philosophy in Frankfurt but his statements have overall been completely nuts so far. I don‘t think he has it all together.

He said in an earnings meeting that he was proud his corporation kills people. He’s an AI Trotskyite.

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Billionaires run America. Why would his politics not be news?

(Gods, I wish this was sarcasm)

I assume they just call each other up for some airtime on their personal news networks when they have some bullshit they’d like to spew all over us.

Karp is a nut; Thiel is a nut. Is Palantir elvish for "bag o' nuts" or something?

[-] Botzo@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago

Not quite. I believe it's intended as a reference to how smooth their brains are (proverbial crystal balls).

“There are Marxist overtones and undertones to our business,” he wrote in a letter to shareholders about Palantir’s outstanding quarter. “Others, including many of those building large language models, intend, knowingly or otherwise, to capture the means of production of their purported partners.”

Stupid as shit. Amazon is Marxist because it replaces its top sellers with its own products too. Anything that isn't neofuedalisim with a network of obligations and gated resources is now Marxist. Dude is literally saying capital accumulation is somehow Marxist. The letter itself is more Marxist than the very behavior it's describing as Marxist.

[-] eicker@lemmy.world 50 points 11 hours ago

Palantir acting like it’s the champion of freedom is a stretch: This is a company built on selling powerful data analysis tools to governments and large institutions. Complaining that others want too much control while building one of the most influential surveillance platforms in the world is an interesting definition of independence.

If AI is marxist then call me a Miami Cuban... fuck AI

[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 5 points 8 hours ago

Things reactionaries say that would be awesome if they were true.

[-] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 8 points 11 hours ago

I thought that guy's name was Peter

well regardless, if he says the sky is blue, are you going to believe the sky is red? I mean he's right about that issue that the AI he talked about is untrustworthy, all AI is untrustworthy for many different reasons.

[-] StillAlive@piefed.world 7 points 7 hours ago

Peter Theil is his boss.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 11 points 10 hours ago

Thiel is the creator, of karp. he just controls him from the shadows.
