Garth Brooks was the pinnacle of 'Country' music, And the stylings of Dolly Parton.
It's been downhill since.

AI is pedaled as the new snake oil. The glue that holds the economy together based on the promise of future productivity. I think Tulips were the same in the 1400's.

- Palantir’s role: Palantir is a U.S. data analytics company that works closely with governments, militaries, and intelligence agencies. Its software is used for surveillance, battlefield logistics, and predictive policing.
- CEO’s comments: The Gizmodo piece highlights Karp’s tendency to make provocative, sometimes shocking statements about war, ethics, and business. The “war crimes constitutional” remark is framed as a cynical acknowledgment that Palantir profits when governments push the boundaries of legality in wartime.
- Underlying critique: The article is less about a literal proposal and more about exposing the tension between Palantir’s business model and human rights concerns.
