To me, investing in any AI company is very risky, 1 step above junk bonds :)

- tylerchilds 6mo agoBut Palantir isn’t an AI company. They’re a guilt-free hands-washing service. You pay them money, and they absolve you of your sins. That’s what Peter Thiel is on about. That’s the technological progress he’s charioting us into his political theocracy with. The ability to label anyone that stands in his way “the Antichrist” which is just another loophole exploitation of the patriot act. An ai company lol
- tylerchilds 6mo agoKeeping score on this one Currently at 1 point but that’s because at least two people upvoted it and two people downvoted it If I’m wrong, call me out. Am I wrong??????????
- tylerchilds 6mo agoLook just because you have their stocks in your portfolio doesn’t negate that their business is primarily in managing the narrative around who lives and dies.
- tylerchilds 6mo agoThe one above was downvoted once, but the one above went up twice, still nobody wants to talk, just push down arrows.
- tylerchilds 6mo agoA shame cause you need to spend a lot of intellect on this site to even be able to down arrow at all and you spend it on… checks notes…. Do u rly want me to say ur perspective or I’d love for you to state your own opinions out loud plz
- TallGuyShort 6mo agoThe morality of it aside, Palantir is probably a much safer investment bet than most others in the AI space. They're older and more established than a new startup picking up the steepness of the hype curve with a half-baked idea, but they're also newer and more agile than an aging tech giant that suffers from the innovator's dilemma and a ton of bloat. They have a strong reputation among their target market and they've been building a sound business and a lot of tooling and infrastructure on Big Data and machine learning for well over a decade. I would feel icky investing in them but any comparison to junk bonds would be the last of my concerns.
- swiftcoder 6mo agoPalantir significantly pre-dates the current LLM era, and is more of a defence-contractor-slash-private-intelligence-agency than an AI company
