An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return

An ex-intel CEO’s idea to make money by combining two money making tools

ahh actions which would be considered “hackers stealing your personal info” twenty years ago is now something people (including me) pay money to be subjected to.

eh perhaps to collect usage data and somehow benefit from it.

anyone who buys a mattress that can’t work without being connected to the internet deserves this

I would normally be sympathetic to their stand except earlier this year when this first started, they called on Trump to use all available political leverages to prevent this and protect free speech. Calling on Trump to protect free speech is just absolutely ridiculous.

have been there though I first try

printf(“HERE1”)

printf(“here”) printf(“here1”)

printf(“here2”)

Sometimes it blows my mind how naive some people have to be to buy into this shit. Almost everyone who speaks of their war against their self described Antichrist is acting like one in major ways. This guy literally conflicts himself by the minute, first calls government control as antichrist and scapegoating as a very dangerous social dynamic and then signs surveillance deals with Trump so that he can blame the immigrants and poor people for USA’s problems. For fucks sake, you don’t even need the subtly misleading evil anymore, anything goes.

Perhaps it is not naiveness but more like the pleasure of having a powerful billionaire regurgitate a century long propaganda embedded in the centre of your life philosophy back at you, the comfort of being affirmed by someone “deemed successful” and not having to face the many contradictions of the stories in your head.

don’t merge and drive

Say what you will at least China seems produce some much needed tech in exchange for selling their people to capitalism, the latter which almost all countries do but in exchange for funnelling the 99.99 % of the revenue to billionaires and/or war (pulled the stats out of my hass).

I think people (I foremost) should train the skills to skip tutorials/articles that are %80 not understandable (to the particular reader in question, not generally) rather than obsessing over them.

history | grep then !cmd no

Well these kind of companies are great at finding loopholes. Not sharing data and not consulting using your overall understanding of the playing field is different. And in most cases the latter means “refined understanding of statistical analyses” which is what most other companies needing data will be interested in.

I do agree that their main business model is analysing data for clients but that does not mean that they can’t generate more revenue by other means. It seems like many big tech companies have a facade of a service that they provide but they have a lot of mechanisms behind the service that generates revenue for them. See Facebook, twitter etc whose data/platform has been used countless time to steer political decisions (unfortunately used mostly by right wing organizations).

most likely drive away a lot of their clients.

You would think so but today there are still left leaning politicians, academicians etc using twitter, about a year after Felon Musk started extreme right wing fear and war mongering. All Palantir needs to do is amass sensitive and critical data across many different fields and consult interested parties (without breaking any of the contracts so they are not liable). It will be ages before they will start losing enough clients that their main business model will become unprofitable. Anyway, by then they will likely have enough money/influence to hop anywhere they want.

I know this is all circumstantial so I will finish by adding one more circumstantial data. Look at the picture below and tell me Palantir will play fair with all the extremely sensitive knowledge it gains across defense, health, energy, transport etc

So palantir analyses pretty sensitive data, for instance health data from NHS. They may not be able to share the data itself but are there any safeguards against them using the knowledge they gain from these analyses to consult health insurance companies for outrageous amounts of money so insurance companies can fuck people even more by grinding stats?

Same goes for them analysing surveillance data. Any safeguards against Palantir consulting fascist political parties on results of these analyses so they can more efficiently carry out fear mongering?

Can’t believe Catholic church pope election results are the only ones getting progressively better in the last decade.

All this depends critically on one premise: that sometime in near future AI coders will become fully automated and produce senior level code. If not we are wholly fucked because currently they are employing less and less junior coders which means that we will be running very low on number of senior coders in a decade or so. If LLMs still need supervision by then there won’t be enough senior coders to do so.

lol that will be the least of your worries if you integrate anything Elon makes into my military systems

Well if tech bros create and monopolize AGI, it will be worse than slavery by a large margin.

Fucking Google has been serving their war propaganda as ADs for a while. Each time I report it, they ofcourse reject it.

unfortunately not because Palantir will be handling the NHS data. what a shit show.
