Includes a 17 min 39 sec video with a fairly deep dive into Palantir, worth seeing (includes a few minutes of ad time).

Both the column and the video are disturbing, in much the same way that the Book of Revelation is -- although with less metaphor and more here-and-now detail.

Just a snippet of the column below:

. . . Karp is one of several billionaires, along with his founding partner, Thiel, who are spearheading the West’s new military industrial complex—focused on high-tech, centered around AI, to supplant nuclear arms as more useable because they are able to be precisely focused in their destruction. They deploy in the form of conventional warfare that is amped up on steroids that create superhuman or even suprahuman warriors or that fight entirely digitally (such as computer viruses) by taking out entire systems of other nations without a nuclear EMP bomb, yet potentially just as crippling.

(Suprahuman meaning a level of AI thinking and ability that goes completely beyond any jacked-up human capability, such as an ability to somewhat foresee the future by rapidly calculating all possible outcomes of an action in light of all known common human behaviors or natural cause-and-effect and factoring those possible outcomes by likelihood and by how to they can be guide by other actions to drive the most desired outcome in very short timeframes. Some moves may necessitate such quick military action that military planners may even let AI decide what is the most desired outcome and launch it. It is not by coincidence that “Palantir’s name is derived from palantíri, the seeing stones in the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasies.” Palantir refers to its integrated surveillance tech and ability to predict real people’s future movements in order to have live fire meet their arrival as their “god eye view.”)
