Palantir CEO Says Making War Crimes Constitutional Would Be Good for Business
Alex Karp vows to use his "whole influence" on immigration and defense policy.
The contempt I feel for these people is unreal...
If this person were to drown in a shallow puddle humanity would be unquestionably better off
Shallow puddle, deep puddle, car accident...
That sounds pretty good for business too they should write an article about your idea
Sociopath. I hope a roach crawls up his urethra.
Poor roach. Might as well let it be a candiru, which may actually enjoy the opportunity and experience.
The Palantirs in Tolkien's world twisted and corrupted those who used them into evil, paranoid creatures (like Saruman).
This seems like life imitating art.
Rolling back anti-slavery laws would also be good for business.
In fact some new laws making anyone whose net worth isn't at least 50 million USD, a property of a randomly assigned mega-corporation, would be amazingly good for business!
I would say 'don't give them any more ideas' but we both know they already have that idea AND are working to make it so.
Someone's gotta pick the berries now. Good thing food assistance has a work requirement of at least 20hrs per week!
Why you speak as if this frogboil hasn't already happened?
Nah you gotta feed and house the slaves. With workers you just pay enough they don’t die and many will even live in cars and eat trash.
Very short term maybe, but you'd also lose costumers, as those have to have money to spend on goods. And as any given person has a finite amount of need for goods (even adding wastefulness) having a broad group of similarily wealthy people is much better for business in the long run. Now that doesn't factor in global competition but you get the gist
Wiping Palantir off the face of the earth would contribute substantially to the upward march of humanity.
CEO's only say this shit when they've already broken the law. I have no doubt in my mind this dude has committed war crimes.
Meaning they should just be arrested and charged already, and not by some special agent, but by a rookie cop just barely out of high school and policy academy and it should be their first felony arrest. Make it as humiliating as possible for them.
Eh, not to be 'that girl' but the context of this article doesn't seem to match the title. What he's saying is that if the government WANTS to keep it's activities constitutional, meaning they will succeed in any later litigation, they need detailed information before each and every strike so they can make wise decisions.
His argument is that only HIS company can provide that detailed information...so the government needs to keep paying them.
Ragebait?
“Part of the reason why I like this questioning is the more constitutional you want to make it, the more precise you want to make it, the more you’re going to need my product,” Karp said. His reasoning is that if it’s constitutional, you would have to make 100% sure of the exact conditions it’s happening in, and in order to do that, the military would have to use Palantir’s technology, for which it pays roughly $10 billion under its current contract.
Thanks for the additional context, but that's a dumb argument. There is no constitutional ground for these strikes, with or without his bullshit product, because there is no war. They're committing straight up murder which is (still) illegal.
Someone’s been taking the wrong message from Megadeth
*hears metal guitar *
“This must be about hate and anger!”
Well, yes, but not like that…
Didn't Dave Mustaine eventually become an outspoken conservative? Like, how the fuck does that ever happen.
Edgelord
Alex Karp bad
That's not what he is saying. This Gizmodo article is trash but at least it gives you the actual quote so you can find out what he really said.
And next they request slave labour to become legal again, right? Because that’s good for business as well.
it goes both ways, you cant complain if your enemies target civilians or use biological or chemical weapons
They believe they are a cut above the rest. Basically is they expect the enemy to act with extreme restraint while they exercise none whatsoever.
He fully intends to use his technology to oppress citizens.
It is hard to argue he isn't correct.
However.... Wow. It's so shocking to see how happy people are these days to flaunt how evil they are. It's not like evil people didn't exist before, but it's almost like they are celebrated these days.
