His investment in Objection.ai points to a new model: private investigations, AI verdicts, and accountability mechanisms that operate outside democratic institutions.

    Putting aside the problems in the current system, let’s not call Thiel’s system a justice system until we can see some results and verify they are just, 'k?

    Israel heavily depends on palantir AI to “give them targets” in palestine.

    I suggest building a parallel justice system for Peter Thiel. It will be powered by guillotines.

    The state ceding the monopoly of violence to a surveillance corporation would be considered too on the face to be the plot of a cyberpunk dystopia and yet here we are living in the worlds dumbest dystopia.

      That’s basically the start of the Shadowrun dystopia. There were a lot of other things that “went wrong”, but when the government removed the liability from private security that has been protecting a hazardous materials transport from workers attacking it in the belief that it contained foodstuffs, it legitimized the “megacorp”: a corporation sufficiently powerful to impose their own legal system on their private real estate.

    So he read that Frank Herbert quote about “permitted other men with machines to enslave them” and thought it was a great idea

    Without reading the article, algorithms have been used in sentencing for some time, well over ten years, to detrimental effect.

      At least with algorithms the calculation is transparent. AI is so much worse because it’s a black box

        AI is bullshit, not that different, it’s the most hyped bullshit since idk. We are being played on this, amongst a great many other things.

        Tech is a freedom ending thing don’'t get me wrong, if we don’t organize.

    I imagine he’s going to try and deploy this in that totally unregulated Freedom City that he and Trump are trying to launch on some federal property in CA.

      Nah, he is going to deploy it as the de-facto arbitrator for private industry. You wave your write to sue virtually every time you sign a TOS. This will replace arbitration because that is already a parallel legal system exclusively for corporations.

    It’s only parallel for now.

    Once we contract judges and the justice system to Palantir to avoid costly things like humans passing judgement, then think of the savings!

    That or we get one of those Network State Praxis type things.

    Rather worryingly UK police forces are using Palantir to collect data on officers and civilian staff. I wonder how deep it goes.
