#AlexKarp, CEO of #Palantir:

"Palantir is here to disrupt and make these various institutions we partner with the very best in the world, and when it's necessary, to scare our enemies, and on occasion, kill them"

Our reality has become a bad #JamesBond movie plot

And why do these #techbros always look like they're on drugs?

#Techbro just gleefully talking murder. And it's presented cheerful and mundane. What a #dystopia we live in

is this video #AI?

it's too glib, too cheerful

maybe it's absurd fictional satire a la "American Psycho"?

nope, it's real:
