He seemed pretty coherent to me. At times clearly thinking faster than his mouth can keep up but really no big deal.
Pretty interesting how he’s fully accepted that there will be “a wealth tax” as a result of a backlash against AI. And how the CEOs he knows are “livid” about how totally useless AI is even after they jumped in boots and all, lol
Thanks, and yeah lol, the guy is definitely coherent. He’s using a lot of technical jargon and also has that weird “cult leader” / CEO way of speaking to draw people in. Talking weird seems like a prerequisite to make it to the top lol.
I think what he’s saying with “We don’t need to oversell this” is “hyping of AI” is inflating the economy and creating a bubble that has adverse effects on everybody. The problem is overhyped growth and inflation, not AI in itself. And AI is growing too fast because of grifters. A type of “pre-enshittification”.
Which seems a reasonable take. I think the anthropic guy said something similar with a moratorium or AI development, to slow down.
“We have to find ways to make these models raise the standards of living for every American”
He’s presumably a horrible person aiding in the genocide of Gaza and empowering the worst of humanity, so this most likely just PR lies. He’ll probably lobby against every single policy that raises the standards of living. He touting the same “extreme left just as bad as extreme right” (neo)liberal bullshit. The same “adults in the room centrism” nonsense. Probably offering to use Palantir to combat people like Mamdani (who are effectively moderate). And “half the people criticizing Israel don’t think it has a right to exist” is vile too.
But the headline is just disinfo. It’s probably just grifters slinging dirt back. Or “flack” in Chomsky’s propaganda model. The article reads like a disgusting polemic hackjob. Really nasty journalism by Joe Wilkins, meant to distract from any discussion of the actual issues of what he’s saying, and what many CEOs are probably thinking.

“Open sourced American” - this sounds like a double negative
Does he even know what that means…
Capitalists want to own the means of production, and currently mostly do. So he does.
Worked for a company that was using GCP for the entire infrastructure just bc no wanted their product to be touching even with 10’ pole with Amazon.
I think so. He meant the capitalists, who are his customers, want to own their means of production. Not rent it from their competitors or suppliers.
First time I’ve seen that phrase used that way but it works.
It works because those are the one’s we need to seize those means from…
It does indeed! He’s ranting about a capital tax too, where he just means ‘the cost of tokens’. He’s flailing wildly.
I wish I were as confident as he is…
He’s not. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to pump crypto.
It’s also a thinly veiled attempt to land at tax other than 100%, and overseen by courts that we suspect he has influence over.
I like the confidence. I imagine things could still go that well for him. Everyone should get a chance to dream of nice things.
For someone who has taken so much from the rest of us, a mere tax could be a pretty nice outcome.
How does this accomplish that?
