Just goes to show that most CEO's who get the big bonuses lucked into their position due to their peers or bombastic actions. There was neither "leadership" nor "insight". Just another squeaky wheel getting the grease.

If the US moves forward with this distopian night mare, people will indeed stop immigrating to the US. This won't be obvious unless it's too late.

Anything after 'Palantir CEO says...' should be ignored. He is not to be trusted on any matter.

I think it should be looked at carefully in case there's hints that legislation is lacking somewhere.

Good point, well made.

That's true for any CEO or other salesmen for that matter.

He looks like a toilet brush

Bruh, don't diss toilet brushes like this. They at least contribute something to society. Plus, I'd sooner fuck my toilet brush than whatever that photo is supposed to depict.

"Made a hobo CEO? You won't believe what happens next!"

You are kinda insulting hobos

He looks like an off-brand polyester Taika Waititi that got washed and dried too hot

Will that be before of after AI pivots to solve environmental crisis as promised?

Maybe they are a few new datacenters away still?

If AI gets that good it would know exactly what to do with him and everyone else on the "skintag" side of the utilitarianism curve.
