    Using phrasing such as “necessarily implies” is exactly what makes me call your conversation style “lecturing”.

    Is it normal to talk like this in your circles? In my culture it’s a certain way to antagonize anyone who doesn’t already agree with you.

    I’m sorry if I’m dismissive but I gotta tell you, last time we talked felt an awful lot like being lectured. You didn’t really engage with anything I said but rather regurgitated endless theories and facts.

    And you are a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist, is that not true? Subscribing to a particular narrative is IMO exactly what “dogmatic” means. I’m not saying it’s wrong, it’s truer than most dogmas. But still a dogma.

    Oh it’s you again. Last time we talked you lectured me about imperialism. I’m not really interested in a lecture today, or any day. We can have a conversation if you want, but I’m not going to subscribe to your dogma.

    So Palantir sells a data management tool and deployment support. That shouldn’t really surprise anyone who knows the first thing about data science.

    The interesting thing about Palantir isn’t what they sell but how they sell it and who buys it. They clearly market their unremarkable software as an autocrat’s wet dream.

    And police and military departments across Europe and the US buy their shit, which says more about those police and military departments than about the software.

    Good old Gary setting the record straight…

    No hypothesis has ever been given more benefit of the doubt, nor more funding. After half a trillion dollars in that direction, it is obviously time to move on. The disappointing performance of GPT-5 should make that enormously clear.

    Unlikely, but I like his optimism. This is how I have felt with the release of every new LLM for the two years, but the scam is somehow still going 🤷 … I suppose many people stand to lose a lot of money when the bubble finally bursts.
