Als je geen tijd of zin hebt om het hele interview te bekijken met de topman van onze NAVO- en overheidssoftwareleverancier, vind je hieronder veelzeggende citaten. Alex Karp klinkt meer als een neoliberaal pleitbezorger on steroids dan iemand die bezig is met de veiligheid van mensen. Het interview vanochtend bij CNBC zal ook tot kortsluiting leiden bij kritiekloze tech-bro’s. Karp geeft hun geliefde en gevestigde orde in Silicon Valley en ook de bekende frontier AI-leveranciers een veeg uit de pan. Waarom je hier heel ver van weg zou willen blijven? Het vertrekpunt van Palantir is de bescherming van de marktwaarde (value) en het verdienmodel van enterprises. Dat staat lijnrecht tegenover een digitalisering die vertrekt vanuit maatschappelijke en ethische waarden ten behoeve van een rechtvaardige en fijne samenleving… 🗣️ “who controls the models” 🗣️ “value of your business” 🗣️ “valuable in an enterprise like battlefield” 🗣️ “safe because it prevents the large language model from caching your data and replicating your business, uh uh safe because it doesn't transfer your IP of how to fight, secret data, top secret data” 🗣️ “waste my time with tokens” 🗣️ “I'm profiting from this” 🗣️ “enterprises in this country trust and love us” 🗣️ “enterprises in the private sector” 🗣️ “They want to know they own the means of production” 🗣️“Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?” 🗣️“we can take an open model and in the classified or non-classified context, get it to the point of a frontier model” 🗣️“Are we really going to outsource the battlefield of this country to the consensus view in Silicon Valley? That is fucking insane.” 🗣️“And the reason for it is because these models have been completely over, irresponsibly oversold, and the sell is it's dangerous for everyone, which is why I can give it to all your adversaries but I can give it to Department of War, or I can't safely give it to an enterprise in this country without being certain that the alpha of that business get transferred to this model tomorrow, i.e., I have no business, no job.” 🗣️“that still only cares about free cash flow” 🗣️“I would say it is a loser to restrict something from the government because you don't agree with how the government fights war and then open it up to the world, including our adversaries.” 🗣️”there are two relevant tech centers, two and a half: America, China, Israel.” 🗣️ over 🇨🇳: “They will win or we will win.” 🗣️“I am the most publicly supportive CEO of Israel, and that's true. Uh I think Israel is on the side of good.” 🗣️ over 🇮🇱: “do you want a country that can sometimes be difficult as your partner, or do you want a country or do you want partners that have no tech scene as a partner?” 🗣️“And so like, it's like in this world having a a fully adult, independent, aligned country that doesn't always agree with us is much better than what we somehow have in Europe 🇪🇺. Like, which is we do not want that.” https://lnkd.in/ePFqwG2f
