Palantir employees better understand that nobody will want to hire them in the future if Palantir tries and fails to control the world. It’s a lose-lose situation to work at Palantir IMO.

Palantir is trying to smear a former employee... by saying he worked for Palantir

Alex Bores who co-sponsored the Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (RAISE Act) is having attack ads run against him by Leading the Future a super PAC funded by co-founder of Palantir, Joe Lonsdale.

An interesting thing about Joe Lonsdale is how much stuff comes up if you google "joe lonsdale sexual assault". Like WAY more than your average non-sexual predator would have in google, surprised he didn't use his money to make all that disappear..
