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

How is this not treason
How is the current administration not treason. Answers your initial question, I think.
Does it really matter if checks and balances have been wiped out? Seems like just a label.
JD Vance is still riding his dick.
so is sam altman, his other puppet.
Because he’s… Say it with me…
RICH AND WHITE!
Because it operates within the law? It’s a binding arbitration company.
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.
That’s basically the start of the Shadowrun dystopia. There were a lot of other things that “went wrong”, but when the government removed the liability from private security that has been protecting a hazardous materials transport from workers attacking it in the belief that it contained foodstuffs, it legitimized the “megacorp”: a corporation sufficiently powerful to impose their own legal system on their private real estate.
EDIT: In the previous histories the “Seretech Decision” was on 1999-10-26. Sources: 1 2 3 Looks like “6th edition” retconned the fictional history to start 2001-09-11 (Never Forget), so it’s unclear what and when the equivalent event is. Source: 4
iirc Disney already has something akin to corporate extra-territorality and and republicans were floating a wider rollout of that during Trumps last term?
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.
I suggest building a parallel justice system for Peter Thiel. It will be powered by guillotines.
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.
Oh wow, The Antichrist himself spinning up his own justice system. Sounds much fairer than a jury of your peers.
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.
The justice system was always about helping the rich
I feel like this is the origin story to a script of a film Chris Pratt would definitely star in… …Oh wait…
Good fiml though, it start slowly though
I was just amazed that Amazon out of all companies would put out a film admitting that AI justice would be flawed.
Even the villains know when something is bad for them.
It anthromorphise Ai

What movie?
It’s called Mercy. It’s actually pretty good, yeah, but it’s also pro-AI, pro-surveillance state propaganda. Solid B+, though.
Ooooh… It was certainly sounding like the opposite of that haha! Appreciate the response, thank you!!
All you gotta do is throw in some heroic 3 Percenters to make it the perfect Pratt film.
Yeah I dunno if it was made as a joke but the timout at the end before releasing it was so classic and expected it made me chuckle. But clearly it represent well the fear of the worst uses ofs AI.
Mercy
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.
“Run the government like a business.”

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
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.
So fascists want no accountability, how rare
So when the food crisis hits from the straight of Hormuz fertilizer issue, maybe let’s eat this guy first.
Rather worryingly UK police forces are using Palantir to collect data on officers and civilian staff. I wonder how deep it goes.
