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.

    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.

    The state ceding the monopoly of violence to a surveillance corporation would be considered too on the face to be the plot of a cyberpunk dystopia and yet here we are living in the worlds dumbest dystopia.

    So he read that Frank Herbert quote about “permitted other men with machines to enslave them” and thought it was a great idea

      lol, he publicly identifies as a Sauron cosplayer

      cf. $companyName

      …but he’s actually more like a sweaty Zorg, as a cartoon villain.

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

    I imagine he’s going to try and deploy this in that totally unregulated Freedom City that he and Trump are trying to launch on some federal property in CA.

      Nah, he is going to deploy it as the de-facto arbitrator for private industry. You wave your write to sue virtually every time you sign a TOS. This will replace arbitration because that is already a parallel legal system exclusively for corporations.

    It’s only parallel for now.

    Once we contract judges and the justice system to Palantir to avoid costly things like humans passing judgement, then think of the savings!

    That or we get one of those Network State Praxis type things.

    Im hoping that: at least they’re trying this stuff with software that is not actually AI, so they’ll fail.
    Id still take them seriously though. This guy and everyone around him is insane.

    Humans probably should drop talking and writing to survive at this point in history.
