Yeah I mean he literally could have just said “I believe that we can have a productive discussion and find common ground in our goals for the future of the technology and the prosperity of the nation” or some such smarmy non-answer. Like…dude immediately assumed hostility instead of listening and seeing the kid gloves he was being handled with already lmao
Seems he’s perpetually on the back foot and feeling some high anxiety about the bullshit he’s peddling.

Which is nice. These assholes deserve as much stress as we can give them.

Yeah I have that thought regularly. These idiots can’t just keep to themselves and be rich and do literally whatever the fuck they want, they have to be in the public eye and fuck with our lives. But so far none of them seem mentally stable enough to maintain a good image if they’re in front of the camera enough without a pr person filtering the things they say.
So I hope it gets to them that no one likes them. I hope they feel supremely lonely. Like that time Elon Musk thought he would be super cool and stream playing PoE but ended up rage quitting in silence while crying (in his private jet) because twitch chat spammed stuff like “Grimes will never love you” and telling him to pay child support. I hope they feel like that every day.

They’ve been feeling like that already, they don’t need anyone to confront them to feel miserable. It’s because they’re miserable people that they do the shit they do.

Honestly imagine how much better the traffic for somewhere like greater LA could be made by an AI system using cameras and variable speed limit signs to control the traffic flow.
If they used A.I to make our lives better in just a few ways I think society in general would be so much more tolerant of their shit.

Palantir mostly does government contracts. If they haven’t done a traffic system yet, it means no government has asked them to. So this one is on the LA local government as much as it is on the AI companies.

Yeah, why should a company proactively develop ideas to bring to market and make themselves useful. Just wait for the customers to figure everything out for them…
