Uber was a massive mistake on every level.

This is what is so frustrating about this whole ai thing is we aren’t learning from the mistakes of even the very recent past

Both wild but also very obviously was going to happen with a product like this.

These should have never even been prototyped. An obviously terrible ideal with obvious many negative social consquences.

They should be banned from the market immediately.

So many organizations need this. I've watched companies make $100M+ investments basically on group think and no one being willing to say it won't work.

The worst is when everyone privately acknowledges that the idea won't work but because leadership has committed everyone has to march on to the failure point.

I have yet to see one of these Cassandra's to be proven wrong too.

Solid article. Outlines well why no one wants these things. I hope it helps more communities fight these and ensure almost none get built

The existence of Palantir is a significant public policy failure. It is a tool for corrupt actors - both private and public - to maximize how much they steal from all of us. Their use of existing tax policy is just an example.

Palantir should be shut down tomorrow; the data it’s collected deleted, its IP destroyed and its executives jailed.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahha. Tell another joke

I have never worked a place where management was even remotely held accountable for their decisions, their corruption, their abuse of power or their fecklessness.

Unions now; unions tomorrow; unions forever.

As a parent of 2 a big reason we won’t have a third is the massive step up in transportation costs. Having to get a third car seat would require us to go from our Kia to a minivan. And then there is the cost of the car seat alone.

Then there is the time cost of wrangling kids in an out of them. My toddler can easily make it 15 minutes to buckle her in just on her own. A third would mean easily 5 minutes of to get everyone buckled in and only if they are cooperative.
