Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”

    humanities-trained

    Code for university educated, which include 1 or 2 generalist humanities classes, and an awareness that fascism = bad. All of the other University classes, no matter the topic, are within the constraints that human destruction is a bad thing. The university program is supposed to motivate the student to help humanity.

    vocationally trained

    Code for the stupid. While short term threats to blue colar work don’t seem obvious, US has been losing manufacturing jobs all year long, and future of manufacturing, to be provided by tech bros or China, is much less labour intensive.

    Advice for the stupid… Don’t assume Zionazi tech bro loves you and wants anything other than more war on Iran and everyone else after, with him getting paid for it, and paid to surveil dissenters to Zionazi supremacy.
