"Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive, wrote Palantir in a 22-point post on X over the weekend, which also called for an end to the postwar neutering of Germany and Japan."
"The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications."
"Palantir's manifesto, which embraces AI state surveillance of citizens along with national service in the USA, is either a parody of a RoboCop film, or a disturbing narcissistic rant from an arrogant organisation."
Palantir published a manifesto advocating for American military strength and criticizing cultural inferiority. It called for reinstating the military draft and warned of a future with autonomous weapons. The manifesto suggests that adversaries will advance technology without ethical debates. Palantir's CEO, Alex Karp, positions himself as a thought leader on civilization's future. The manifesto has drawn criticism from UK MPs, raising concerns about Palantir's contracts in Britain, including significant deals with the NHS and government agencies, questioning the company's suitability for UK governance.
