Silicon Valley has become a cancer on the world. There are too many companies run by greedy, unhinged psychopaths who do not care how their products and services affect the world. It's not just Thiel's companies. It's Meta and Google and Apple and Amazon and Uber and OpenAI.

The only thing Silicon Valley is missing is a series of volcano lairs for their founders and CEOs.

Don't give them ideas, they'll start drilling for new volcanoes.

Zuckerberg's Hawaiian bunker is technically a volcano lair. And Bezos has Dr. evil's laugh and space rocket.

Crazy how long it takes for supposedly extremely brilliant scientists and engineers working at Evil LLC to realize that maybe their work is a net loss for humanity.

It's almost as if... they just didn't care and pretended to realize their mistakes once everything was well exposed. It's like reading obviously satirical scientists' memos in Resident Evil. Except it's real life and they're not satire.

lol most of them are probably doing this to save faith now that Thiel is getting more coverage and saying more unhinged shit. Otherwise they gladly keep taking home their paychecks and watching their stock vest.

If Palantir employees had any amount of introspection, moral compass, or ethics, they wouldn't be working at fucking Palantir. It's safe to assume anyone working at Peter Thiel's House Of Horrors is a turbo-Fascist, and should be [REDACTED] with the rest of them.

What about a... rat's anus.

"starting?" I assumed everyone who wasn't onboard left years ago.
At least Linkedin is full of "ex-Palantir" people, but tbh Linkedin job descriptions are not know for their truthfulness.

You mean to tell me, everyone on that platform isn't a CEO....

I saw another article that they provided the targets that lead to the school full of little girls being bombed. They are the bad guys.

Better late than never, I suppose. They got some making up to do.
