ALEX KARP SAID WHAT NO ONEIN BIG TECH WILL ADMIT YET [BSHWFKMAd4O]
Palantir CEO Alex Karp spoke at the a16z Summit on March 3, 2026. ⠀ He said tech companies are walking into a serious trap. ⠀ They are using AI to wipe out white-collar jobs at scale. ⠀ At the same time they are refusing to work with the US military. ⠀ Karp said that combination leads to one outcome: nationalization. ⠀ The government takes your technology and controls it directly. ⠀ It does not ask for your permission before doing so. ⠀ Karp was pointing directly at Anthropic's refusal of Department of War requests. ⠀ Anthropic said no based on AI safety and alignment concerns. ⠀ Karp's message was simple and hard to ignore. ⠀ Cooperate with the government or lose ownership of what you built. ⠀ AI regulation, tech policy, and national defense are now one conversation. ⠀ Credit: Alex Karp, Palantir CEO, via YT a16z ⠀ Save this and share it with someone building in AI. ⠀ Should tech companies keep the right to refuse military cooperation, or does national security override that? #AIgovernance #PalantirCEO #TechPolicy #ArtificialIntelligence #AIregulation
