Palantir CEO Alex Karp Responds to a Palestinian Protester: If Your Argument Is that Strong, Why Will You Not Let the Other Side Talk?

PROTESTER if you support ░░░░░░░░ too KARP The one ░░░░░░░░ the most important things ░░░░░░░░ of all I really ░░░░░░░░ free speech So the ░░░░░░░░ where you get up ░░░░░░░░ say what you think ░░░░░░░░ m 100 percent on ░░░░░░░░ side Like you want ░░░░░░░░ come in here and ░░░░░░░░ us of doing bad ░░░░░░░░ you know regurgitate where ░░░░░░░░ m a sick bad ░░░░░░░░ who s doing it ░░░░░░░░ power and I m ░░░░░░░░ watching people suffer OK ░░░░░░░░ I 100 percent support ░░░░░░░░ right to say that ░░░░░░░░ the thing on our ░░░░░░░░ that we have to ░░░░░░░░ for is we have ░░░░░░░░ fight for a right ░░░░░░░░ discuss and say our ░░░░░░░░ of this or my ░░░░░░░░ of this And like ░░░░░░░░ of the most important ░░░░░░░░ about the book which ░░░░░░░░ may not want to ░░░░░░░░ is you don t ░░░░░░░░ to read is if ░░░░░░░░ argument is that strong ░░░░░░░░ will you not let ░░░░░░░░ other side talk And ░░░░░░░░ Applause it s like ░░░░░░░░ s like obviously if ░░░░░░░░ the argument was as ░░░░░░░░ and by the way ░░░░░░░░ pain of Palestinians is ░░░░░░░░ that everybody and anyone ░░░░░░░░ dies in war obviously ░░░░░░░░ care I care about ░░░░░░░░ The obvious solution to ░░░░░░░░ is to have the ░░░░░░░░ having the strongest most ░░░░░░░░ deadly weapons possible so ░░░░░░░░ we can minimize unnecessary ░░░░░░░░ deaths And by the ░░░░░░░░ the primary way you ░░░░░░░░ these deaths is you ░░░░░░░░ so strong no one ░░░░░░░░ you And that s ░░░░░░░░ you actually do it ░░░░░░░░ Now there are many ░░░░░░░░ to this debate But ░░░░░░░░ know the completely I ░░░░░░░░ of the things that ░░░░░░░░ really frustrating in the ░░░░░░░░ honestly is I kind ░░░░░░░░ call it I spent ░░░░░░░░ lot of my life ░░░░░░░░ Germany I m kind ░░░░░░░░ pro German culture especially ░░░░░░░░ it actually works which ░░░░░░░░ could argue in many ░░░░░░░░ it s not but ░░░░░░░░ s like what I ░░░░░░░░ call the probably incorrectly ░░░░░░░░ greenification of our society ░░░░░░░░ is you know we ░░░░░░░░ of all support something ░░░░░░░░ climate I think most ░░░░░░░░ support regulated immigration You ░░░░░░░░ 20 percent of your ░░░░░░░░ in Germany who are ░░░░░░░░ radical to the point ░░░░░░░░ the ideas make no ░░░░░░░░ but they 100 percent ░░░░░░░░ and then they end ░░░░░░░░ controlling the policies of ░░░░░░░░ whole society And the ░░░░░░░░ we have who want ░░░░░░░░ real world solutions like ░░░░░░░░ course wars lead to ░░░░░░░░ deaths what do you ░░░░░░░░ to minimize the death ░░░░░░░░ did October 7th also ░░░░░░░░ how were there security ░░░░░░░░ You know those are ░░░░░░░░ are really important questions ░░░░░░░░ it be done better ░░░░░░░░ would you do it ░░░░░░░░ What is America s ░░░░░░░░ Who do we sell ░░░░░░░░ Under what conditions Who ░░░░░░░░ the technology Does does ░░░░░░░░ control the products we ░░░░░░░░ At what point if ░░░░░░░░ re going to have ░░░░░░░░ deadly AI does the ░░░░░░░░ have a responsibility to ░░░░░░░░ who owns it who ░░░░░░░░ it what is what ░░░░░░░░ it used for Is ░░░░░░░░ a sense in which ░░░░░░░░ have to be politically ░░░░░░░░ culturally aligned Can you ░░░░░░░░ a discourse of discussion ░░░░░░░░ are all completely legitimate ░░░░░░░░ But if we who ░░░░░░░░ with being shouted at ░░░░░░░░ not stand up and ░░░░░░░░ You know fu k ░░░░░░░░ We got to fight ░░░░░░░░ at least talk about ░░░░░░░░ force discursive discussion they ░░░░░░░░ win And it and ░░░░░░░░ Applause it s and ░░░░░░░░ the way it s ░░░░░░░░ that there s not ░░░░░░░░ legitimate in what they ░░░░░░░░ saying It s like ░░░░░░░░ they take it to ░░░░░░░░ extreme where it s ░░░░░░░░ absurd And by the ░░░░░░░░ and where it s ░░░░░░░░ much linked to you ░░░░░░░░ what happened in the ░░░░░░░░ I believe she believes ░░░░░░░░ m evil I believe ░░░░░░░░ s an unwitting product ░░░░░░░░ an evil force Hamas ░░░░░░░░ she unwittingly is part ░░░░░░░░ their strategy That she ░░░░░░░░ a product And the ░░░░░░░░ important thing arguably in ░░░░░░░░ book or what Palantir ░░░░░░░░ what you could learn ░░░░░░░░ do not become a ░░░░░░░░ of an ideology that ░░░░░░░░ sensible Because the minute ░░░░░░░░ become a product of ░░░░░░░░ ideology you will be ░░░░░░░░ And like the consumer ░░░░░░░░ version is you become ░░░░░░░░ become more divided and ░░░░░░░░ smart and less happy ░░░░░░░░ the political version of ░░░░░░░░ is you won t ░░░░░░░░ anyone provide a different ░░░░░░░░ because of course that ░░░░░░░░ has to be evil ░░░░░░░░ the opinion that is ░░░░░░░░ probably less productized is ░░░░░░░░ nuanced And then quite ░░░░░░░░ because you also probably ░░░░░░░░ to make ethical implicitly ░░░░░░░░ an ethical hierarchy So ░░░░░░░░ hierarchy of my book ░░░░░░░░ our company is the ░░░░░░░░ is superior It s ░░░░░░░░ superior because we can ░░░░░░░░ this discussion She can ░░░░░░░░ I can respond And ░░░░░░░░ have to fight to ░░░░░░░░ sure that breaks down ░░░░░░░░ then the other part ░░░░░░░░ that I actually think ░░░░░░░░ and the thing that ░░░░░░░░ people about AI is ░░░░░░░░ which is that it ░░░░░░░░ be abused It will ░░░░░░░░ great powers much more ░░░░░░░░ than they otherwise would ░░░░░░░░ without it And it ░░░░░░░░ lead to a hierarchical ░░░░░░░░ which will lead to ░░░░░░░░ the world is governed ░░░░░░░░ is why we have ░░░░░░░░ win this in America ░░░░░░░░ if in fact another ░░░░░░░░ power gets this technology ░░░░░░░░ has the ability to ░░░░░░░░ or less precisely target ░░░░░░░░ efficiently target more accurately ░░░░░░░░ actual devices that currently ░░░░░░░░ which is like hardware ░░░░░░░░ hybrid devices they will ░░░░░░░░ the world order And ░░░░░░░░ world order is going ░░░░░░░░ look like the person ░░░░░░░░ t get to speak ░░░░░░░░ they only get to ░░░░░░░░ And that s what ░░░░░░░░ do not I do ░░░░░░░░ want And that actually ░░░░░░░░ what we have to ░░░░░░░░ for.” (Applause)
