His investment in Objection.ai points to a new model: private investigations, AI verdicts, and accountability mechanisms that operate outside democratic institutions.

    I suggest building a parallel justice system for Peter Thiel. It will be powered by guillotines.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

      I’m fine with just euthanizing them the old fashioned way; cancerous growth can only be allowed for so long before the rest of the body fails.

      History has shown time and again that if you give the lower classes nothing to live for or buy into a society then violent revolution usually follows.

    So when the food crisis hits from the straight of Hormuz fertilizer issue, maybe let’s eat this guy first.

    Putting aside the problems in the current system, let’s not call Thiel’s system a justice system until we can see some results and verify they are just, 'k?

      It’ll NEVER be a “”“justice”“” system; it’ll just be a way for the Ultra-Wealthy to legitimize their oppression and handwave the consequences as a “decision by AI”. Mysteriously, oh-so-mysteriously, the verdicts will ALWAYS align with Thiel’s interests.

    Without reading the article, algorithms have been used in sentencing for some time, well over ten years, to detrimental effect.

      At least with algorithms the calculation is transparent. AI is so much worse because it’s a black box

        AI is bullshit, not that different, it’s the most hyped bullshit since idk. We are being played on this, amongst a great many other things.

        Tech is a freedom ending thing don’'t get me wrong, if we don’t organize.

          It’s different in this case specifically, because AI is completely opaque, and the calculation the court uses is not at all

    Rather worryingly UK police forces are using Palantir to collect data on officers and civilian staff. I wonder how deep it goes.

    hes hoping the govt will give him contracts throughout the world, seeing is likely is AI companies are not faring as well as it should be. thiel dint report that the datacenters are probably costing him tons of money,.

    Israel heavily depends on palantir AI to “give them targets” in palestine.
