When I started working on this video about Palantir, I didn’t expect that it would make me want to have a panic attack. Then again, maybe panic is the appropriate response to learning that an artificial intelligence and surveillance company is actively collecting data on every American citizen in order to establish a technological dystopia.
CORRECTION: I confused and conflated the ideologies “Effective Altruism” and “Effective Accelerationism” throughout this piece. Effective Accelerationism is what Thiel and Palantir subscribe to which advocates for the reckless progress of technology above all else. “Effective Altruism” is closer to utilitarianism and more benign. Though I confused the words, the piece is otherwise unaffected.
