> Iran’s leaders “might have purposely disguised some of these things to make them look like targets, the same way the Palestinians and others do,” Lonsdale said.

Ah—the old “murder our kids for sympathy” ploy. which has worked… when?

What an absolute murderous and racist piece shit this guy is.

When the protester said, "Your AI and your technology from Palantir kills Palestinians,"

Karp replied: "Mostly terrorists, that's true."

Everything about Palantir and Joe Lonsdale are just so gleefully evil that one can not help but laugh at their ignorance.

I think the world and even Americans are getting real tired of these techies and they're going to pay for it.

The more public statements come from these tech bosses the more they all seem like they live in this shared psychosis where, literally, the rest of the world is acceptable collateral damage on the path to their inscrutable personal goals.

And the longer they don't have any consequences for their actions, the worse they will get.

I'm starting to think that the further they look into the future for their utopian dreams, the less care they have for the present, and the less care they have for the present the more girls schools will be bombed and companies hacked and other predictable and unpredictable collateral damage.

> He also argued that Iran might have deliberately lured the US military into the AI-assisted targeting of two Tomahawk missiles at an elementary school on the first day of the the Trump administration’s war in Iran.

I'm not sure if there's any way back to objective reality for someone saying this sort of thing publicly.

This is hilarious, its the schools fault it got blown up. Talk about victim blaming.

it's very easy from the outside to judge anyone associated with palantir as a total piece of shit

i'd like to see more folks at the hague over the same. Less judgment isnt forthcoming over child murder and those who align with child killers. There is no justice, no rule of law, while those responsible walk with their head firmly attached to their shoulders.

Deliberatly luring AI into bombing kids? Anything other than admit AI should never play judge jury and executioner eh? Fucking rats.

For a contrarian take: I think it’s true. When there’s a war, you make this kind of tragic mistakes, either with AI or humans.

The point is that the war itself is pointless. The tragic mistakes, and the other civilian deaths, accidental or totally expected as “collateral damage”, are not part of some project that, despite its costs, makes the world a better place.

Though of course the AI bros take is also “don’t hold us accountable for anything, ever”, and that’s pathetic.

The zionists genocide forces and businesses specialise in strikes on schools, hospitals, aid agencies, civilian administrations, police, fire and emergency services. Hind Rahab bieng just one little girl murdered by them, but the Minhab school strike went over there openly described limit of a 12 murders which tends to trigger the kind of notice in the international press that they are carefull to avoid. This hit on Minhab was a double strike, that is the zionist signature, from playing the sounds of injured children from drones to atract rescuers, and dozensvof variants to the simple expedient of timing the second strike for the arival of emergency services and civilian rescuers. And once again they are claiming to be victimised by the hard work of managing genocide, and further in this case, a total failure to achive anything that has an end game or off ramp. 'allied' governments now have staffing issues as people will quit before they will facilitate the zionists further, and so positions are filled based solely on someones ability to function nicely with murderous genociders. And no matter how wildly proffitable investing in genocide has been, there is then the cost of bieng associated , which is not, comfortable , safe, or clean.

It's an insult to all of our intelligence that guys like Joe Lonsdale + Alex Karp think we won't make the connection that they say just happen to be Zionists and then say horseshit like this. We know they value the lives of their in-group at 1000x more than everyone else, they don't even try to hide it anymore.

Well, there are good war crimes and bad war crimes. Bad war crimed are prosecuted, good war crimes are downplayed and justified. /s
