Palantir CEO: Silicon Valley Shouldn't Dictate US Policy

Sure, it's much better if Robert Mercer dictates US Policy and all the environmental protections are rolled back.

Ironic given where most of SV's money and tech knowledge came from.

I agree with the headline. If the US government wants a certain thing, within the bounds of the law, it should be willing to pay the going rate for that thing to companies willing to provide it. If there are no takers, we’ll, then the government doesn’t get that thing unless it provides it itself.<p>What Karp is really complaining about is how tech workers are being vocal in their disagreement with US policy, which is their right to do.

Interesting that they&#x27;re worried a prevailing attitude amongst the laborers in tech that we shouldn&#x27;t be engaging in things Palantir profits off of (like migrant concentration camps) might cause them to attack the industry itself.

The headline is incorrect. &quot;Large tech platforms shouldn&#x27;t dictate policy winners and losers&quot; is more accurate.<p>I think his view is well reasoned and while you can disagree ideologically, I would like to hear the reason.

Flagging this. This post has been advertised on Twitter non-stop. This is very clearly written as a PR piece, and it won&#x27;t go away.

Yup, leave that to Wall Street, defense contractors and oil companies. Can&#x27;t have these engineers messing with the status quo.

I hope this kills the company. I think that working for Palantir is going to be the same as working for Philip Morris.
