They’re saying the quiet part out loud now. |
By Malcolm Ferguson excerpt: Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men. “This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.” |

The Daily Blast With Greg Sargent |
Donald Trump has been all over the place on the global oil shock created by his war amid Iran’s closing of the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier this week, he angrily claimed that the price hikes are a small price to pay for world peace, adding: "ONLY FOOLS WOULD DISAGREE!" But on Thursday he offered some bizarre new spin, claiming that the United States "is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money." The idea that "we" all benefit prompted intense criticism and underscores his chaotic approach to this fiasco. Meanwhile, CNN reports that Trump officials have started to "panic" and are in a state of "alarm" about the situation, even as its global impact is rapidly worsening. We talked to international relations expert Nicholas Grossman, who’s been arguing that the Iran saga is catching Trump off guard. We discuss why the oil shock’s consequences are so dramatic, how this all reveals the limits to Trump’s bullying powers, and what it says about MAGA’s tendency to underestimate resistance to its designs. |
