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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
