This piece is truly horrifying to me, to the extent that I really can't believe that
@nytimes
published it, with the author - Alexander Karp, the CEO of the surveillance firm Palantir, no less - trafficking in dangerous arms race (and other racial) tropes (1)
Uncut florid BS from a surveillance tech vendor busy marketing their "pivot to AI."
Few things more cynical than framing US v China economic jockeying for tech supremacy via statistics-at-scale (AI) as war, then offering to sell weapons to fight it.
