Paul, there are also a huge number of other places where you can post your thoughts, rather than at a site owned by someone who pals around with the chief of the police state and does his level best to bring it into existence.

Principles are important, but not I'll-post-on-a-platform-with-less-clout-potential important.

1shooner•9mo ago

It's not really purely principled when the platform is known to manipulate that 'clout' to meet ideological goals.

paulg loves that site's owner because stopping the "woke mind virus" is worth it for him

archagon•9mo ago

Well, this is the natural end state of the “‘woke mind virus’ virus.”

I hope he realizes that at some point. But I feel like influencers have a hard time with humility and introspection.

I'm ready to accept my "right too soon" medal whenever.

Y'all owe shanley kane an apology too she's been writing about this shit for years. Sydette harry, so many others. We've known for so long, been saying it for years.

Incidentally, Palantir is the company that gets a hard-on from building slaughterbots: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1hexwjc/slaughterbo...

(Shrug) Like it or not (and I don't), that's how wars will be fought from now on. Somebody has to build the weapons.

"If we don't build the Torment Nexus ourselves, someone else is just gonna do it!"

Go to Ukraine and lecture them about the Torment Nexus, see how that goes over.

Palantir is a company that loves to saber rattle and post disturbing polemics about how “the West” needs to dominate the rest of the world. Moreover, Thiel is in bed with Yarvin, an out-and-proud monarchist. This is the last company I’d trust to build weaponized drone technology.

If Palantir ever gets the green light to use these weapons against libruls, illegals, BLM, and/or antifa, they would in a heartbeat.

There is an individual[1] who goes to pro-Hamas protests in England carrying a sign that states the official stance of UK on Hamas (i.e. that it is a terrorist organization) and inevitably gets arrested by the UK police state. Quite rich of 'pg to throw stones from his UK glass castle.
