YouTube Description
as posted by the channel‘The Philosopher in the Valley’ is the latest book from journalist and author Michael Steinberger, and it explores Palantir and its equally controversial and perplexing CEO, Alex Karp.
Steinberger had unprecedented access to the people behind what he describes as “the most interesting company in the world” that is making warfare “in vogue in tech circles.”
Today, Palantir’s surveillance and data software is used by intelligence agencies, militaries, and corporations, which leads it to be used in areas from finance to immigration and counterterrorism.
Watch the full discussion above to hear how Karp’s U-turn from the democrats towards MAGA is cause for concern not only for people in the US, but across the globe.
