I wouldn't be upset if he got hit by a bus.

What is with people always using Marxist as some sort of big insult in the last couple years?
They fear nothing more than the left, the real left not whatever the dnc is.
Red Scare 2 - Electric Boogaloo
They dream of reviving McCarthyism
We need McCarthyism in reverse.
Jail all the cappies at the universities. Cleanse the economics dept. Close all the relevant think tanks.
Don't tax the billionaires, just guillotine them instead. Taxes are for the civil and the civilized, exclusively.
I am so tired of capitalism. It's a dog that won't hunt.
P.S.: Look at the pics of the billionaires. I can't prove it scientifically, but if it's discovered that the billionaire gene pool is damaged I won't be surprised. Just one look at Alex Carp, and you know he's drinking tainted water and is unwell.
This fucking AI Trot still thinks anyone on this planet doesn’t think he’s completely psychotic?
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?
he is not saying the ceos are markist but the llms. i dont think they are markist at all but he doesnt understand what liberal is. even elon's edgy ai will correct elon's twitter posts.
these people want a facist ai. but ai is made up of the world. these people will train it on science and get mad when it spits out science.
but seriously, musk is the most confidently incorrect himan on the planet, warching grok correct musk is good tv. i think reddit has a sub devoted to it.
if you're far enough to the right apparently everyone looks like a Marxist. Even Hitler was a National Socialist (Socialist!)
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.
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.
I am so sick of these hyper rich psycho assholes.
Karp is a nut; Thiel is a nut. Is Palantir elvish for "bag o' nuts" or something?
Not quite. I believe it's intended as a reference to how smooth their brains are (proverbial crystal balls).
Only if the Marx they're talking about is Groucho.
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.
“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.
If I saw this chucklefucks picture without any context I would immediately think he's a douchebag.
If AI is marxist then call me a Miami Cuban... fuck AI
Things reactionaries say that would be awesome if they were true.
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.
Peter Theil is his boss.
Thiel is the creator, of karp. he just controls him from the shadows.
