"Obviously, the great contradistinction here is Europe, where, you know, it's like people have given up, and we — I really hope that turns around in Europe," he added.

Europe is giving up by having ethical, human focused, and probably open source AI/and not firing all their scientists and researchers? Meanwhile the GOP is literally trying to sneak language into a spending bill banning regulation for a decade?

What a pizza shit.

The guys views make no sense. He's basically a socialist who struck it rich and is now a conservative trying to use leftist ideas to attack the left. He still calls himself a socialist.

Surprise - people saying things you like are not your friends any more than people saying things you hate.

Surprise - people saying things you hate are not your enemies any more than people saying things you like.

Surprise - the words "socialist" and "capitalist" have no useful meaning at all. Specific solutions devised and offered as part of something "socialist" or "capitalist" are all over the place of the choice of instruments, with nothing uniting them along those lines other than how cover art aesthetics unite books.

And surprise - people saying ugly and dumb things might have a better idea of what they are doing than people who seem very fine. No connection at all.

I think Alex Karp and his colleagues are quite close to having a bunch of Starlinks and AI-powered combat drone networks covering all the globe. Maybe with some commercial stuff working similarly. The future might be theirs. Yep, that's a very raw and stupid application of computing power and it's dystopian, but what gets deployed IRL matters more than elegance.

Also this is in the context of USA giving Israel a kick in the butt, so maybe it's not such bad news that they are getting involved with Arab monarchies and not, say, with Turkey or Russia.
