RARE Alex Karp Interview: Palantir Philosophy Explained! (2009)

[@PalantirVisionOfficial]

A subscriber asked for a background to the philosophy on Palantir so I dug this up. Leave vid requests in this thread. And I’ll make yours next! :)

[@mr1bucho]

Thanks for post. I am interested to know if they have any competitors?

[@Kissed1982]

appreciate seeing how they're able to exploit (cheat the system) and collect data on american citizens who speak up. Congrats to big tech for cheating the capitalist system and big congrats to Alex for working for a foreign agent!

[@strategicdesign]

I am interested to learn if: A. Palantir guided Israel to blow up specific or most of the buildings in Gaza in 2024. The place looks like it was carpet bombed. This could mean three things: 1) palantir found adversaries in almost every building 2) palantir's continuous learning algorithm grew the wrong way and started giving the military data that was mostly inaccurate. 3) it was more sinister as its data was ignored and Palantir did no longer have a hand in the operations. We will probably never know as palantir probably won't expose these data sets 3) palantir will give insight into it AI capabilities, and if so, which government institutions will oversee their operations? B. Palantir will ldeliver the main guiding stones to help Musk gut the US government from workers while providing transparency as to why certain programs and workers need to be terminated. C) There will be transparency in the dealings between buddies Musk, Thiel and Karp during 47.

[@michael.r.landon]

I like this video. Honestly, I think Alex would be a lot more persuasive as a CEO with his visibility now with the demeanor he's exhibiting in this video.

[@whatthecrux2212]

Alex’s confidence is much higher now. You can see it in his body language, demeanor, and how he speaks. This is a great version of Karp, but this Karp doesn’t exist anymore 😂

[@rmondave]

Indeed, his demeanor today is less humble as his efforts are beginning to bear fruit and must stay on edge to drive this Palantir Juggernaut to realize its awesome potential. He also seems to be driven to also show his ex highbrow academic peers the virtuous value of Palantir.😉😘

[@javiervazquez8412]

Who cares about his demeanor? Care about the share price.

[@rmondave]

@michaelr.landon1727 in my experience often the only way to cut through the pretension and bureaucracy is to be blunt and honest and often perceived as impolite. Time is easily wasted and you'll end up on an endless treadmill of presentations, meetings and endless RFIs.

[@stxrawberrycookie2433]

Alex Karp looks so different it still has same conviction & belief in Palantir.

[@Caring.for.Couples]

It was awesome to hear a calm Alex Karp in 2009 describing more clearly than I've heard yet what Palantir actually does as today he's so hyped and passionate; Plus I imagine it's hard for him to talk abotu what they do when some of their most important work is classified. I enjoy his desire to protect civil liberities and make the West the best at what it does while keeping us all safe.

[@jacksonmatysik8007]

Dr. Karp looks so serious and humble. I love it!!

[@maryannerazzo1737]

Whitney Webb, an author I respect to a degree, has been building a resume against people like Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. She is convinced that Palantir weaponizes military relationships to spy and control the average citizen. She is very compelling. Still, in fairness, I would as soon hear the side of the subject of her criticism. Alex is impressive and I enjoy listening to him.

Great interview with Dr. Karp, a one of a kind quintessential man in my humble opinion. I am proud to support this generational company by buying shares monthly.

[@seandelaney1700]

From the beginning to the end he insists Palantir is about protecting civil liberties and keeping the government in-check. 15 year on and I am not aware of them doing this once. I am aware that the US government has repeatedly breached our liberties. I suppose he has long since given up on trying to spread this narrative. He knows who butters his bread. I think his more recent behavior could be explained by having studied philosophy (ethics) and playing this less than forthright role.

[@Sumodf]

Well, i think its more like keeping other governments in check. As far as civil liberties, they’ve deteriorating since the 70’s. It wouldn’t surprise me if in another decade or two, mass surveillance programs finally go mainstream, for our own safety of course. The gov’t will need someone to provide a service for that.

[@timmypopplewell7076]

[@Shahzad-Khan]

Ever read 1984 by Orwell? His company’s purpose is the genesis of the novels warning.

[@wavygoods877]

How so?

[@Shahzad-Khan]

@@wavygoods877 I'm lazy so here's an AI prompt lol sorry. The parallels between George Orwell's 1984 and Alex Karp's Palantir can be drawn primarily in terms of surveillance, control, and data gathering, though the motivations and contexts differ. Surveillance and Control: In 1984, the government of Oceania, led by Big Brother, constantly surveils its citizens through telescreens and other means. The goal is to control thought and behavior, maintaining totalitarian rule. Palantir, a company co-founded by Alex Karp, specializes in data analysis and has contracts with governments and corporations. Its software can aggregate vast amounts of data for purposes such as law enforcement, military intelligence, and corporate governance. This has raised concerns that such powerful surveillance tools could be used by governments to exert undue control over citizens, mirroring the pervasive surveillance in 1984. Power of Information: In 1984, the Party manipulates information and rewrites history to ensure that the truth aligns with its narrative. Control over information is key to maintaining power. Palantir's technology gives organizations the power to gather, process, and analyze immense datasets. This ability to control and manipulate data for insight or predictive purposes can raise ethical concerns, especially when applied in the realms of security and governance, potentially influencing or controlling public behavior and perception, similar to how information is controlled in 1984. Lack of Transparency: The Party in 1984 operates in secrecy, and citizens are kept in the dark about the true nature of the regime's control over them. Palantir operates in a highly opaque way regarding how its tools are used by its clients, especially when dealing with law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Critics argue that the lack of transparency in how Palantir's tools are used echoes the secretive control exercised by Orwell's Party. Despite these parallels, there are significant differences. Palantir argues that its tools are designed for protection and security, aiding in tracking criminals or preventing terrorism, while Orwell’s 1984 presents a dystopia where surveillance is used solely to suppress freedom and autonomy. Nonetheless, the concern lies in the potential misuse of such technology, which could drift toward the oppressive state depicted in Orwell's work.s

All I heard was a marketing strategy for how to get people to willingly let you invade their privacy. This is the beginnings of the branding strategy for totalitarian controls.

[@Kneedeepinstock]

Karp in his early academic career talked about stopping antisemitic ideology. Currently in 2024 basically all UN countries have condemned the war crimes Isreal has committed in Palestine except for the U.S. which funds Israel more than any other country. Funding based on votes by Congress who is controlled by AIPAC(aka the Jewish mafia lobby) on these matters.
