The BALANTIR CEO book says Wadi Silicon may “have lost his way.”
The founder and CEO of Palantir Alexander Carb opens his new book with a provocative advertisement: “The Silicon Valley has lost its way.”
Over the past decade or so, the data analysis company has risen to the forefront through its work for the US military and intelligence, KARP remained largely out of the spotlight. Last year, in A rare interview with the New York TimesHe described himself as “progressive but not woke up”, with a “constantly supportive view of the environment.”
Now, in “Technological Republic: Solid Power, soft belief, and the future of the West(Participated in his authorship with Nicholas Zamiska, head of corporate affairs and legal advisor in Balddir to CEO), KARP wrote something from the statement. In fact, he and Zamiska describe him as “the beginnings of expressing theory” behind the Baltayr.
In their narration, the early success of Silicon Valley was created through a close alliance between the technology companies and the US government. They argue that this alliance has split, with “waiver of the challenge of developing the next wave of track paradoxes to the private sector”, while “Silicon Valley turned into the interior, with its energy focus on narrow consumer products, instead of projects that speak to address our security And our greatest well -being.
The husband criticizes the outcome of the Silicon Valley as dominated by “advertising online and shopping, as well as social media and video sharing platforms,” which indicates that this is the result of an industry that divides building things without offering what is worth building or why.
“The central argument in which we advance in the following pages is that the software industry must re -build its relationship with the government and redirect its efforts and interest in building technology and the capabilities of artificial intelligence that will deal with the most urgent challenges we face collectively,” Carb and Zamiska writing.
They also argue that “Elite Elite Silly Valley has a positive commitment to participate in defending the nation and clarifying a national project – what is this country, what is our values, and what do we stand. “
The auditors were not fully won. In Bloomberg, John Janz Complain The “Technology Republic” is “not a book at all, but it is part of corporate sales materials.”
And in New Yorker, Gideon Luis Kroos Proposal The book is a “historical paradox”, and it is assumed that it is written before Donald Trump’s victory in the November 2024 elections. Now, Luis Kroos wrote, “Her vision has become a supportive relationship between Washington and Silicon Valley has become almost strange.”
In fact, there is one thing that KARP and Zamiska criticize is “many business leaders in adventure, in any way in meaning, regardless of the accidental and theatrical conquest, the most dependent social and cultural discussions of our time.”
Of course, we now see at least one business leader who takes this guidance to participate in politics seriously, as Trump’s ally Elon Musk tries to reshape the federal government Through his ministry.
