Palantir's Co-Founder Wants Us Less Judgmental About Deadly Iran School Strike

The more public statements come from these tech bosses the more they all seem like they live in this shared psychosis where, literally, the rest of the world is acceptable collateral damage on the path to their inscrutable personal goals.

And the longer they don't have any consequences for their actions, the worse they will get.

I'm starting to think that the further they look into the future for their utopian dreams, the less care they have for the present, and the less care they have for the present the more girls schools will be bombed and companies hacked and other predictable and unpredictable collateral damage.

He also argued that Iran might have deliberately lured the US military into the AI-assisted targeting of two Tomahawk missiles at an elementary school on the first day of the the Trump administration’s war in Iran.

I'm not sure if there's any way back to objective reality for someone saying this sort of thing publicly.

i'd like to see more folks at the hague over the same. Less judgment isnt forthcoming over child murder and those who align with child killers. There is no justice, no rule of law, while those responsible walk with their head firmly attached to their shoulders.

Deliberatly luring AI into bombing kids? Anything other than admit AI should never play judge jury and executioner eh? Fucking rats.

I wish this weren’t the case but autonomous ai warfare is the future. We should accept that fact. Likely attribution for war crimes will be hard to pin down responsibility for.

1h agoHN ↗

There was a time when it appeared nuclear war was the future of warfare. Thank goodness we refused accept that as fact.

1h agoHN ↗

It likely is the future, same as bombs once were, that doesnt mean we allow people to go about clusterbombing residential neighbourhoods you know? If you cannot predict the inpact, if you cannot minimize collateral damage reliably, then it isnt tech that is ready for the front lines. There's a reason we ban biological warefar, even though its even more effective than AI driven weapons. So, what the fuck? Why are we deciding this isn't worth regulating?

The more of this shit i see, the gross incompetence, the total lack of reverence for human life, the more I see a butlerian jihad as the only viable option.

A tool is a tool, and abuse of a tool, intentional or by gross incompetance should not earn a free pass because the tech is new.

We need to hold people accountable for their action/inaction.

Everything about Palantir and Joe Lonsdale are just so gleefully evil that one can not help but laugh at their ignorance.

1h agoHN ↗

Lonsdale was also accused of rape and is quoted as saying that women need to be raped to learn to respect men.

1h agoHN ↗

I think the world and even Americans are getting real tired of these techies and they're going to pay for it.

1h agoHN ↗

It's an insult to all of our intelligence that guys like Joe Lonsdale + Alex Karp think we won't make the connection that they say just happen to be Zionists and then say horseshit like this. We know they value the lives of their in-group at 1000x more than everyone else, they don't even try to hide it anymore.

it's very easy from the outside to judge anyone associated with palantir as a total piece of shit
