A good meeting with the CEO of Palantir Technologies, Alex Karp. Step by step, we are developing cooperation with the American defense sector. Palantir is a renowned global company with strong potential, and there certainly are areas where we can be useful to one another, strengthening the defense of Ukraine, America, and our partners. We discussed areas of technological development – both in the context of combat operations and civilian needs. We agreed that our teams will stay in touch.
The hysterical reaction to Palantir’s “manifesto” demonstrates the total stupidity of how information disseminates and gets absorbed these days. I call it the packet curse.
I’ve seen so many accounts claiming this is some sort of sudden declaration of intent, when nothing in the post is new. All of these arguments were fully set out in Karp and Zamiska’s book over a year ago. The post is basically a synopsis of the book.
And if you read the actual book, you understand the grander context, which imho comes across as entirely reasonable. There were some great points in it.
But of course nobody reads books anymore. And the lag between information becoming publicly available and being absorbed by the public/market consciousness only grows larger every day.
This effect probably needs to be studied by academics focused on efficient market hypothesis. I think it resembles a sort of latent virus effect, where the true consequences of a piece info beginning to circulate don’t become apparent until something triggers an activation.
It is a very weird environment. We are both over exposed to information and more under informed than ever.
@anitakirkovska you're right. what about:
"i mass mass mass mass mass mass mass what about langraph" nah i'm cooked. what's the actual tweet say, just "remember langchain?" and that's it? if so:
"i mass mass built my entire startup on it and mass mass mass no i don't remember"
these are all
Found an old storytel reader. just android with a skin slapped on top. took me 20 minutes to flash it.
reminded me of jailbreaking my iphone as a kid just to get apps that apple decided i wasn't allowed to have. Crazy that vendors have been doing this for decades.
