@8teAPi Neither is correct. Karp is ontological authoritarianism - we keep the keys to your kinetic workflows. Amodei is the anarchist - just tag it whatever you want! What's missing in the middle road - the grammar of consent that defines and delegates decentralized powers on a team.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@dcbuilder Ontology needs an execution layer to touch dynamics for real automated workflows. Palantir calls that engine the *kinetic-semantic loop*. If you're not building that, they'll sell you one and own the engine that makes your ontology do things.

@guilherme94jose They dont even have memetic valie in one country. They have multiple internal games running in complementarity. The reason monovalue societies kill scapegoats is that monovalue systems are game theoretically suicidal. You can implement different systems and those cultures live

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@guilherme94jose Girard is the definition of an idiot for those too dumb to learn from the greats. China got ahead through Batesonian complementarity ("designed in California, made in China"). They love Bateson's "value system of the steady state" (the multipolar order)!

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@SaiMandhan You don't self manage the entire stack. The kinetic layer that sits between the ontology and the operations is continually monitored by Palantir and if you ever try to leave your contact they keep the whole thing.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@IntuitMachine The ontology is free. It's in their tech specs. You pay "forward deployed engineers" (consultants) to come in and create the bespoke, hidden "kinetic layer" that is supposed to make sure the Ontology (data) matches the dynamics (reality). You pay to have yourself spied on.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@BrianRoemmele If you do not understand how a forward deployed engineering stack works, just say so. Don't tweet stupid lies.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@jawwwn_ "products so good" you fucked up a war with *Iran*? Palantir saw the millennium challenge and said, "put us in charge, our software will fix this." Now our sailors are dying to fast attack boats just like the simulation said we're living with consequences at the gas pump.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@BalaSelvam Palantir is a deployment stack for "engineers" to do intelligence tradecraft on you and your biz, then repackage that intelligence as "ai reasoning" (kinetic automation layer that syncs ontology with dynamics). Corporate espionage dressed up as ai-native management consulting.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@jawwwn_ He's straight up lying about the stack in his own public specs. He talks about the semantic (ontology) and the dynamic (business) layers in public. But who owns the *kinetic layer* Alex? Where are the "forward deployed engineers" and what are they doing with our alpha?

@rowanfornow teaching kids how to factionalize before they even get to experience unity. evil.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@PalantirTech Karp was reading Tolkein when he should have been reading Klauswitz. Big boy wars don't stay inside your "kinetic layer". The fog is the build constraint, not the problem you can solve. 168 school girls and God knows how many US sailors and pilots died because of this nerd shit.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@PalantirTech LoTR nerds on coke vs. officer corp hardened by decades of real conflict. One thinks you can route the fog of war through a single "Ontology", the other developed a decentralized, cellular infrastructure. And guess which approach won? The LoTR nerds sell the tools of defeat.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@DropSiteNews Damn they really convinced the rebels to disarm, let them get one guy in office one term, then weent right back to gangsterismo.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@sflorimm Why are we discussing leasing your own car when you could just rent a car every day for life? I mean this why we need liquidity for small businesses to be able to get loans like the old days but that's a bigger problem...

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@LarryAlbertGil it would be genuinely sad if the "global left" didn't distinguish between the success of migrant workers sticking a finger in the boss's eye at the World Cup and the policy of a NATO-backed monarchy that exists in its current form to police migration.

[Zachary Sheldon @zdsheldon]

@zanoga It's great. I'm working on a metadata wrapper that would enable public archives and software libraries to store an open model's stack on industry standard archival tape. Will be publishing a draft with worked examples in the coming days

@ClementDelangue Lol China has finance quants making deep seek into a profitable private venture by arbitrating the stock market and the US has state-subsidized "Black Rifle Coffee for browser extensions".

@ns123abc Thiel was like fuck this im going to south America. So the had to call up Dr. Robotnik from the back bench of boring fucking psychos.
