  Because we get asked a lot.  The Technological Republic, in brief.  1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible.  The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.  2. We must rebe…

  passive observation that once you've outsourced state capacity to corporations such as this one it's bound to be that they come with other aspects of quasi-statehood like internal politics, ideology, internal judiciary

  @PalantirTech This was one of the most important books written in the past decade. It forces people to confront the contradiction between Silicon Valley and technological process at the intersection of what Silicon Valley first started off to defend: Western Values. Exceptional b…

  I didn't vote for any of these people. And yet, they desire power and control without accountability.

• @kevinakwok Kevin Kwok on x

  This is an interesting post. Because it is much tighter than the book itself. Which is very messy and poorly structured imo. There are many books I would very much like to see Karp/Palantir write. And I tell people there that often. But it sadly was not this book

  Peter Thiel in 2009: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” Palantir is ready to dismantle both. Here's a breakdown of its little manifesto: [image]

  “the disinformation surrounding the company was deliberately created by our adversaries” is a funny response to people criticizing the company's own self-published manifesto

  Wow, Palantir has gone full Nazi.

• @yanisvaroufakis Yanis Varoufakis on x

  Palantir were kind enough to sum up its hideous ideology in 22 points.  And I have taken the liberty of annotating each one of them.  Here is my interpretation of all 22 of them (preserving the original numbering...): 1.  Silicon Valley owes an immeasurable debt to the ruling cla…

  One day, all the Palantir haters will have to come to grips with the reality that the disinformation surrounding the company was deliberately created by our adversaries who feared its potential to strengthen and embolden the ability of free and democratic societies.

• @agdugin Alexander Dugin on x

  Palantir Manifesto is much more important than Trump. Trump is insignificant pawn on the serious chess board. His role is total destruction. The preparations stage. Palantir is much more serious. It is the plan to safeguard the declining dominance of the West by radical means.

  I just finished reading palantir's manifesto & I need you to understand what you're actually looking at because this is the MOST important document the tech world has produced this year most people came away thinking «wow what a thoughtful essay about patriotism and technology

  “We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.” Who the hell do these people think they are? They think they can call to draft people because they spy on everyone?

  Palantir calls for a national draft (???) “National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force”

• @gothburz Peter Girnus on x

  I helped write the manifesto. I also read the dissertation. That's the part nobody mentions. Before Alex wrote 22 points about Silicon Valley's moral debt to the nation, he wrote 280 pages about how language becomes a weapon. His doctoral thesis — “Aggression in the Lebenswelt”

• @garethdennis Gareth Dennis on x

  I cannot express the extent to which this company needs to be aggressively dismantled, its assets seized and its data storage destroyed completely. It is a deeply evil organisation run by deeply evil people. Yet they are still deepening their access in the NHS! Get them out.

• @miltonicmindset Joseph Webster on x

  @PalantirTech 23. Companies should not be publishing manifestos on how our societies should operate and function. The act of private companies attempting to take on the role of government and/or policy construction should be seen as a threat to national security and the Western w…

  Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic.  It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.  —  twitter-threa…

  I've had some friends suggest that there was plausible deniability for people who used to work at Palantir who thought at the time it was just another tech company.  I always found that hard to believe as it was always creepy and cultish.  But after this... anyone still working t…

• @eliothiggins Eliot Higgins on bluesky

  It's also worth being clear about who's doing the arguing.  Palantir sells operational software to defence, intelligence, immigration & police agencies.  These 22 points aren't philosophy floating in space, they're the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the pol…

• @eliothiggins Eliot Higgins on bluesky

  The headline argument is straightforward enough, democratic survival depends on hard power, hard power is now software, so Silicon Valley owes the West an AI weapons industry.  Adversaries won't wait, so we can't either, which taken at face value sounds like a defence of democrac…

• @ayoub Elia Ayoub on bluesky

  Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible.  They're so arrogant and self-confident they don't seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.  —  We must get rid of Palantir altogether.  —  twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...
