Hey, here we go, though, counter-intuitive, for sure, so.................
Utilizing all these tools of Zuckerberg, Brin, Page, Dell, Ackman, Altman, Ellison, Karp, well, we work on small things, beautiful small things, but the fascists are tracking, watching, conjuring up ways to counter EVERYTHING good....
The Palantir manifesto reveals clearly that we face a new form of fascism, not only in the narrow historical sense, but in its essential meaning: the alliance of monopoly capital with aggressive national political power and the deployment of violence, repression, and civilizational hierarchy to protect this alliance from any popular threat. The only difference is that the tools of this fascism today are algorithms, big data, and artificial intelligence, and this is what makes it more airtight and more difficult to resist than what preceded it.
When Alexander Karp finishes writing his philosophical manifesto in his elegant office, the algorithms his company built continue their work of identifying targets, tracking migrants at borders, building databases of dissidents around the world, and supporting the machinery of militarism and repression across the globe. Philosophy and crime are two faces of the same coin.
The struggle for social justice and liberation today passes inevitably and substantially through the struggle to liberate technology from this aggressive class alliance. This is not a technical question or an abstract ethical question. It is a political question through and through, and part of a historical struggle over who holds control over the future and human consciousness: the monopolistic minority allied with projects of killing and repression, or the working masses who must impose their authority over the tools that shape their lives and their destiny.
