The spirit of Biiig Business. Can I get an amen?
Is ketamine the new CEO breakfast of champions?
Excerpts from [article](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/televised-nervous-breakdown-ceo-palantir-212100357.html) by Joe Wilkins, [quoting](https://x.com/atrupar/status/2072313022035398795) Alex Karp:
*[…] On a live interview with CNBC‘s infamously churlish segment “Squawk Box,” Palantir CEO Alex Karp appeared to suffer a nearly 20-minute meltdown, complete with stuttering, nervous backtracking, and a steady supply of digressions so abstruse that the hosts seemed befuddled and perhaps even concerned for his wellbeing.*
*Though Karp was called up to chat about an ongoing deal between Palantir and the chip maker Nvidia to build AI infrastructure for the US government, he quickly went off the rails, using up minutes of airtime to complain about the financial bubble undergirding the AI boom.*
*While there may be a point buried in Karp’s diatribe, it quickly became lost in a wash of unintelligible jargon.*
*“These models have been completely over, irresponsibly over-sale,” Karp ranted at one point, “and the sale is, ‘it’s dangerous for everyone, which is why I can give [AI] to all your adversaries but I can’t give it to the Department of War, or I can’t safely give it to an enterprise in this country, without being certain that the Alpha of that business could transfer to this model tomorrow, ie I have no business, no job.’”*
*“You sound pretty angry,” CNBC‘s Becky Quick interjected after a nearly three minute-long rant from Karp.*
*“No,” the CEO snapped. “This is the voice of American business that is being channeled through me!”*
*[…] “American enterprises are run by the shrewdest, most widely intelligent people on the planet,” the Palantir CEO started to say, setting up an argument that companies aren’t interested in foundation models, but in AI apps that can actually solve problems. That train of thought quickly leaves the station, though, as he pivots to his higher ed ambitions literally mid-sentence.*
*“If you think they’re going for that [foundation models], you can go try to sell me — like my, my parents still want me to get a job as a faculty member at Berkeley,” he complained. “Go try to get me a job at Berkeley. It’s not happening.”*
Palantir CEO Alex Karp suffers from saying what he really thinks during live interview…..
Not enough is being said about how some of these tech CEOs deciding the future of humanity and invested with unconscionable amounts of power and influence, are just batshit insane.
Insane beliefs, insane ego, parts of religious cults, and often drug addictions.
They posted a cut down interview with him on YouTube
the video ends when he starts getting uppity, mid sentence
Hilarious
Fuck off Alex.
That was not a nervous breakdown. That was a sales pitch, and you are probably not the customer.
Congratulations to Drugs. Clear winner of the war on drugs.
Just get in the ambulance dude
Why do these articles never actually include the clip they are talking about?
Anyone have a non-x link so I can watch?
Techno-fascist CEO suffers from main character syndrome after loosing few contracts. Oh no! Anyway…
This interview was absolutely inane. I worked with government contractors on tech sales before Trump came into office. Many of the organizations were looking forward to finally dumping Palantir during upcoming contract expirations. No one liked it, it isn’t and wasn’t good, and here he is talking about why everyone LOVES it. They hate it, he is a stool for Theil, the only reason they’re embedded in government is because of connections. It will likely all have to be ripped out once this nightmare is over.
It never stops shocking me about the general sane washing that happens with these nut jobs in power. Trump is the poster child but Musk and the others are terrible but the media will always seek them out.
Meanwhile Biden looks bad and they descend on him. The later is better if someone is in power. Investigate and report. These are dproblems.
Can a man not do cocaine and ketamine before heading on stage any more! World gone mad.
“Neurodivergent man on drugs , that I don’t do” literally snorted laughing
These are undersocialized, neurodivergent men on drugs, maximum enablement and entitlement, and with a completely warped perspective which is devoid of empathy or the ability to consider anything outside their own egos and desires. In layman’s terms, they are „high on their own supply“, in clinical terms, **this is psychosis**.
Well, he has not morals and appears to be on drugs a lot, so I am sure Stanford will make him a dean.
He says the wealth tax is just to punish „us.“ Cant imagine what life would be like if everyone paid their fair share.
That dude is getting high on his own supply. Probably hooked his AI up to his Galadriel sex doll.
Could we get a mirror, I don’t use those sites
Anyone that name drops their alma mater in the context of an argument completely loses their validity. These guys are ruining the world because they were picked on in college. I was too you fucking dipshit and I go on with my life not ruining others.
All these “personality” ceo fuckers are so high on god knows what drugs. Shrewdest my ass
Living in a time of actual Bond villains… and no Bonds.
We really have no leaders in the modern age do we
Palantir runs on hype and their software is trash. SharePoint has ontologies, you didn’t invent any of this.
This guy always seems manic or on too much drugs.
Tech Bros never played group sports as kids or learned how to build a campfires and fix bikes like in the boy scouts. Their social awareness only peaks when their notifications alarm sounds off.
[For anyone who wants the clip not through twitter](https://youtu.be/0A3sGymV6kY?is=PHfFiLRvAJfJea1O)
The quote is in the last 15 seconds or so. Rants for a couple minutes before lol
non zero chance this guy occasionally checks their systems to see if people still hate him. possibly whilst microdosing ketamine
Yet another „classy if you are rich, trashy if you are poor“ moment by this loon.
Don’t you just love it when the government can’t move fast enough to give the keys to the kingdom for things like autonomous warfare to someone, and then it turns out they are batshit insane, have always been batshit insane, and everyone involved has always known they were batshit insane?
Good. I hope he breaks.
This has always been the archetype for our pillars of industry, this guy is just too high on his own farts to realize how literally anyone outside the 1% would receive his ramblings.
But there are like at least 200 of the wealthiest and most influential people in the world who signed up to say they feel similarly to this maniac.
He’s on drugs. If another person in another field behaved like him they’d be booted.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Any interview with this guy I’ve ever seen veers into this territory. He is right up there with the guy who shits on the sideway outside my workplace in the incompressible, manic screaming diatribes. If he wasn’t wealthy he would be institutionalized, or at least have a wellness check called on him.
„American enterprises are run by the shrewdest, most widely intelligent people on the planet,“
They are all just fucking narcissists. All of them.
What an absolute crackpot. Are all these tech CEOs just zoinked tf out on ketamine and meth or what? This is clinical psychosis.
American business culture is just dressed up sociopathy
In William Gibson’s Neuromancer, he describes the wealthy as so separated from the rest of humanity as to be incapable of interacting with the rest of the species. They are aliens who live in a different universe, with a different language and customs. Inscrutable creatures.
I say this for no particular reason.
This meth head has been calling for the race war apocalypse for a while
And only now we decide he is psychotic?
What does that make us?
„American enterprises are run by the shrewdest, most widely intelligent people on the planet“
Yeah, if you can say this with a straight face….you defenitely lost it
And that my friends is what you call psychosis
Conceited, babbling executive thinks he has all of the solutions to the world.
It’s amazing how many of these out-spoken lunatics are in positions of power these days.
I propose there should be a law that if a bit of news is primarily a video, said video should be plainly linked at the top of the article without any sort of app/subscription required to view.
I have had it with scrolling through reactions and bullshit when all I want to do is watch the interesting thing that happened.
The vote for me is right thing to do Reddit, so do.
Here is a link for those that don’t want to deal with Twitter/X app:

Peter Thiel is also deeply mentally unwell. As is Elon Musk. I’d argue Jeff Bezos is, too. You cannot become this rich without having some level of psychopathy, whether in-born or cultivated. It rots a person’s soul and mind.
I’ve really had enough of speed-addicted losers with messiah complex running the country.
Americas companies are not run by the shrewdest and most intelligent, they are run by capitalists who don’t care about their workers
