Palantir CEO Alex Karp made a jarring statement to Silicon Valley investors. AI is striking precisely at the core of the Democratic Party's electorate: highly educated urban white-collar professionals. Meanwhile, manual laborers, whom AI cannot replace, are seeing their relative power rise. He said those who believe this kind of disruption is "politically controllable" are "in a mental hospital." Then he turned to Silicon Valley: You can't destroy millions of professional jobs with AI while refusing to support its military applications. His logic is—the only socially acceptable reason for AI is national security. Otherwise, the public will sooner or later demand direct government intervention in these companies. Those who create chaos must explain why the chaos is worthwhile.
