The Technate Was Always Coming
Authored by Mark Jeftovic via BombThrower.com,
And what you can do about it (besides complaining).
Palantir dropped a manifesto last weekend. 22 bullet points distilled from Alex Karp's book The Technological Republic, posted to X with the casual framing of “because we get asked a lot.” I haven't seen a reaction so widespread, unanimously opposed and viscerally aghast since James Damore's infamous “Google's Ideological Echo Chamber”.
The usual suspects lost their shit. Engadget called it “the ramblings of a comic book villain.”
TechCrunch clutched its pearls at the bits about “regressive” cultures and “vacant and hollow pluralism.”
Bellingcat's Eliot Higgins observed, (via Bluesky, of course), that these aren't philosophical musings floating in the ether: they're the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it's advocating.
He's not wrong, Palantir sells to ICE, DoD, NYPD, and the intelligence community. I...

Will I ever retire? It doesn′t look like it | Dave Schilling (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Being financially equipped to retire feels like a fantasy. And yet plenty of people who could do so are avoiding it“Retirement.” A word I can hardly spell anymore, it seems so abstract and impossible – like a science-fiction concept from a tattered old novel. In the classic film Blade Runner, “retirement” is the term used to describe the brutal ritual of future cops executing rogue androids called replicants (which auto-correct just tried to turn into “Republicans” against my will, though maybe Google Docs has a Freudian slip function now).The Blade Runner version of retirement strikes me as more feasible for modern humans – getting blasted by a jackbooted assassin with a phallic-looking blaster – than the traditional process. Actual retirement – cocktails on the beach in between golf games – is as distant as the farthest known star. As glamorous as my life must seem to you, dear reader, it is not that at all.
