If this guy is saying this now in context to how society generally values human worth, imagine what he will say after humans will have had their value completely stripped away.
what do you think he is choosing not to say when he thinks about our place in the future?

I legitimately can not understand what the end game of AI is in terms of business goals.
The one saving grace I’ve always thought about AI is that they’ll never let it affect their bottom line but if they make everyone unemployed and poor they have no customers to sell anything to. What good does that do for anyone?

these people are going to have to move to their hawaii island and never show their face in the US
you can only break the social contract so much before the collective administers flip flop justice
it’s a race against time before they can make their kill bots legal – then they can break the contract with impunity and we will be totally subjugated
I recommend taking action before you’re literally enslaved by their surveillance state

Apparently all those fancy CEOs can barely write code, and in fact have little to no other abilities. They are mostly power-salesman.

“We removed the human element from humanity!”

We really need to start paying attention to what kind of world we’re building, or in this case what kind of world we’re allowing others to force upon us.
We should only abide these systems if they serve us collectively. Ultimately what we all want is more time free of labor with the resources to enjoy it. These billionaires are deranged.
orlybatman on
Yeah, no shit.
>Karp also gave the example of technicians building batteries at a battery company, saying those workers are “very valuable if not irreplaceable because we can make them into something different than what they were very rapidly.”
Does he realize workers are humans and not slaves to be shaped to suit the needs of billionaires?

That’s what he’s hoping.
And he’s wrong because the humanities are all about understanding people

Alex Karp is a philosophy major so this technically makes “Palantir CEO” a humanities job.

This guy is a turd. He predicts, basically, the destruction of millions of people’s livelihoods, because of a service he, and others, provide like it’s no big deal.
All these fuckwads can go to hell, straight to hell… do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

These people are dangerous and you refuse to believe it. They think of themselves as the chosen or annointed. The problem is these false prophets creates lots of problems for massive amount of people.

I am an English instructor, and to be honest, artificial intelligence does not significantly concern me since my profession necessitates human interactions. If self-study were sufficient for everyone, the existence of schools would be rendered unnecessary.

As a nerd I can say, nerds gonna nerd. And business nerds are gonna business nerd.
These people think that universities are solely about getting jobs, and that art is about selling art, and that literature is about selling books, etc, etc. Except that that’s not what these things are about. They’re about advancing OUR understanding of the world and ourselves. Key words: OUR understanding.
I’m not saying that people don’t go to university to get jobs, or that artists don’t sell their works, or that people don’t get paid by writing books or papers. But this is a big misunderstanding by a business nerd: we do those things out of necessity because the current economic model the world operates under results in this behavior, not because philosophers by definition generate texts that can now be generated by a philosophy machine (the creation of which raises all sorts of philosophical questions it would be nice if we humans could answer, you know, for us).
It’s almost as if he himself was paying attention to the wrong things in university.
These tools may mean the end of capitalism, sure, but that only means that business people lose their means of creating value in the world, there will always be a place for art, historians, philosophers, the study of language and how we communicate, and other aspects of the human experience.

Can’t believe people don’t want to have data centers built overnight in their back yard to deliver an even shittier version of the corporate slop we’ve been consuming for half a century while losing the one thing we got out of it: money to exist.
Virtually every publicly traded company sucks & is evil, because Blackrock, Blackstone, & Vanguard makes them so. The better among them do so because PR is part of their bottom line.

AI is not destroying humanity jobs. You are doing it.
It is stunning to me none of the AI leaders thinks they are responsible for their actions.
They want the power and wealth, but they shirk the responsibility.
The French developed an effective tool to deal with people like him in the 18th century. “The guillotine is going to put some CEO’s out of work, it’s just something we can’t control.”

AI will destroy *a lot* of jobs when the bubble pops. That’s what oligarchs do: Destroy trillions to reap billions.

It’s also damaging art, music, books, movies, education, social media and human culture in general.
I wonder if AI is part of the answer to the Fermi paradox.

He’s literally saying he’s going to destroy the world and people are just nodding I guess? If it’s illegal to threaten the president I think threatening all of humanity with an amount of credibility should have consequences

If you ever needed a big endorsement on how important humanities are for a more just, progressive society here it is. There is a reason all these oligarch ghouls hate them.
