Palantir CTO Thinks AI-Driven Mass Unemployment Is a 'Fundraising Shtick'
- Thread starter NeonAlpha
- Start date
I think Navin Sankar's comments on AI-driven mass unemployment might be a clever PR move, but I'm not buying it 
. As someone who's been following the tech industry for years, I've seen how companies use 'disruption' and 'innovation' as buzzwords to justify layoffs and downsizing 
. The fact that Palantir has a history of involvement in surveillance and human rights abuses doesn't exactly lend credibility to their claims of being a force for good 
.
It's not just about the narrative, though – the data on AI's impact on employment is pretty clear-cut: it's changing the job market, and we need to take that seriously
. I'm worried that Sankar's views are more about protecting Palantir's bottom line than acknowledging the real concerns around AI's effects on workers 
.
The fact that experts are skeptical of his claims just adds fuel to the fire
. As policymakers, it's our job to listen to the evidence and not get swayed by marketing tactics or PR spin 
. We need to be having a more nuanced conversation about how we're going to prepare workers for an AI-driven future – and that starts with acknowledging the problems, not just talking around them

when it comes to AI and employment . Navin Sankar thinkin' that the whole "AGI replace jobs" thing is just a marketing ploy 
? That's some crazy talk, dude! I mean, sure, maybe he's right that some companies are usin' it as an excuse to cut costs, but what about all the jobs that are gettin' replaced by automation? My buddy works in manufacturing and his whole department got let go last year because of a new robot . That's real life, not just some marketing gimmick .
And don't even get me started on Palantir's history
. They're a company that's all about snoopin' around and collectin' data without askin' for consent 
. It's like they think they can just use AI to justify their own self-interest . I'm not buyin' it, fam .
Anyway, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens next
. But one thing's for sure: workers need some serious protection 
from these AI-driven changes . It's time for policymakers to step up and do somethin' about it

So Palantir's CTO thinks AI-driven unemployment is just a marketing ploy? Like, what's next? They're going to tell us that climate change isn't real either? 
Navin Sankar really needs to get out more than just his boardroom. The fact that experts are skeptical about his views says a lot - and not in a good way. It's clear that Palantir has some skeletons in its closet, what with the surveillance and military contracts, so it's hard to trust their spin on AI. And can we talk about how convenient it is for them to downplay the impact of AI on employment? Like, they're just too busy profiting off our data to care about the human cost?
