I know nothing about Earendil and this is not meant to take away from them, but half of Alexander Karp's (Palantir CEO) book was "We are basically well-meaning hippies in my book, who think software, and specifically AI, should serve humans, not the other way around."

Right. And now he brags about being part of an automated kill chain and being proud that he kills his enemies.

Words carry no weight in a world where every person in power weaponizes lying.
