BREAKING: Palantir's Alex Karp just made the geopolitical case against pausing AI development, and it's hard to argue with. "If we didn't have adversaries, I would be very in favor of pausing this technology completely, but we do." This isn't a techno-optimist dismissing safety concerns. This is a CEO... show more

Unless we are willing to force, and I mean force, China to slow down it's AI development, we must proceed at full steam ahead.
Karp has the national-security argument. Thiel has the ideological argument. Clifford has the state-capital/access argument. Chamath supplies narrative and distribution. None of them needs to share the others’ worldview. Shared upside is enough to align behavior. That is how these systems actually move: belief, benefit, and behavior converge around the same policy even when the actors disagree about why. So “we have adversaries, therefore we cannot pause” is not the end of the safety debate. It is the sales pitch for one equilibrium. The real policy question is which capabilities get accelerated, which deployments get constrained, who controls compute and diffusion, who captures the upside, and who inherits the failure modes. “China exists” is a geopolitical input. It is not a complete governance architecture.
Wise comments by Alex Karp, as usual.. Good job Alex.
I agree, he needs to debate Bernie.
@PalantirTech god forbid this man have 3-2 Austrian painter friends who follow him around.. 🤣
Karp is right. Not you.
notice my side of the ai war talks to business news the gay anti ai slobs talk to gay fake news
Who do you think. The ontology genius of course
BASED JEW
He seems to be the wisest of his kin.
Fuck off! and Fuck anything Palantir recommends!
karp is right. palantir is a monopoly and anthropic is a commodity. shows in their gross margins. anthropic has no moat
A unilateral pause reduces your capability, not the danger.

I burned my notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won't help you survive.
@DavidSacks @MichaelKratsios @DarioAmodei @elonmusk @chadwahl @PalantirTech OK, but let’s stop the “open source/closed model” bullshit If everyone is ok w/the risks then let the race continue
Karp is the adversary of humanity.

@PalantirTech thank god for ADHD
He doesn’t at all understand the world we live in. Not at all.
God forbid China wins the race to an end-to-end surveillance state. Karp sees enemies everywhere for profit.
Alex Karp has stronger argument. We need to accelerate AI. It seems like there is more and more signs showing that we are NOT our physical bodies. Thus, even in a catastrophic situation, and we all die, our awareness keeps going on forever. So, what is the point of fearing death?

Open AI & Anthropic AI are bad investments when their IPOs hit Wall Street. They are pushing this propaganda before Anthropic starts trading on the stock market in October. This is going to create havoc on Wall Street! The SEC needs to investigate Anthropic & Open AI’s IPOs!
L’argument géopolitique est réel. Mais la solution n’est pas de choisir entre sécurité et compétition : il faut progresser sur les deux. Ignorer la sécurité serait un risque inutile. Il faut accélérer les deux. 🌍🤖
Ya right „up the aggression“ 👎
Why do they ALL look like they stuck their fingers in a light socket? Do these people not own combs or brushes, or for that matter, mirrors?

![HUGE NEWS: CEOs of 3 of the 4 leading AI companies all said they would pause/slow down if others agreed Anthropic CEO: If we don't sell chips to China, it slows them down. And then? "I'm very confident that [Demis and I] can work something out." EMILY CHANG: Some folks have advocated for a pause to give regulation time to catch up, to give society time to adjust to some of these changes. In a perfect world, if you knew that every other company would pause, if every country would pause, would you advocate for that? DEMIS HASSABIS: I think so. [DAVOS INTERVIEW] DEMIS HASSABIS: And if we can, maybe it would be good to have a bit of slow, a slightly slower pace than we're currently predicting, even my timelines, so that we can get this right societally. But that would require some coordination that is hard. DARIO AMODEI: I prefer your [longer] timelines DEMIS HASSABIS: Yes. Absolutely. DARIO AMODEI: I'll concede, yes... I said before, I prefer Demis' timeline. I wish we had 5 to 10 years. It's possible he's just right and I'm just wrong. But assume I'm right and it can be done in one to two years. Why can't we slow down to Demis' timeline? INTERVIEWER: You could just slow down. DARIO AMODEI: We can't do that because we have geopolitical adversaries building the same technology at a similar pace. It's very hard to have an enforceable agreement where they slow down and we slow down. So if we can just not sell the chips [to China], then this isn't a question of competition between the US and China. This is a question of competition between me and Demis, which I'm very confident that we can work out.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2014018200325722348/amplify_video_thumb/2014013121191428096/img/Gis0Qvhf0DOQzVcM.jpg)
![PBD Explains Why His Middle Name Would Be "Lucky" "One night my son tells me, Daddy, why don't you have a middle name?" "I said I just don't have a middle name." "He says, but everybody in this house, including your dad has a middle name." "I said, I don't have a middle name." "He says, if you did have a middle name what would it be?" "I said Lucky." "He says, why Lucky?" "I said, because I'm the luckiest man in the world." "He's like, Daddy, you're the luckiest man in the world?" "I said, I'm the luckiest man in the world. You didn't know that?" "The next day he goes to school. The teacher reaches out to us saying, your son is going around telling everybody, do you know my dad's the luckiest man in the world?" "He believed it. Guess what? I believe it." "We didn't come like this. We, we didn't come invading like this. We waited patiently and did it by the books. And if [The U.S.] didn't allow me, they have the right to not allow me. That's why I'm lucky."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2083242133092233706/amplify_video_thumb/2083241842611474433/img/Ngjnczkn7v5V7Wrx.jpg)
![Q: It's thought in the paddock that your car is actually the best chassis and if you can get that extra bit of power you are the ones to beat. So are you thinking if we can just get this [Engine ADUO] we know we have an incredible car? Lewis Hamilton: "Yes absolutely, I mean the guys at the factory have done an amazing job with the car and we still have improvements to make but the car is fantastic it's just it's a battle of development through the season obviously some people bring upgrades one weekend and others the other but yeah we're just at the mercy of the lack of power that we have and I know that everyone worked really hard on the engine and reliability is obviously is very good it's just when you're lacking that straight line speed against the Merc it's very very tough but nonetheless you know we have to expect that the rest of the season that's just the way it is so we'll just try and see if we can continue to add on to the car and try and close the gap if we can go through quicker through corners in some races maybe we can get closer to a challenge in front of us."
