Zamiska&#8217;s 2025 book, <i> The Technological Republic,<\/i> which reads like a utopian idealist doodled on a Bond villain&#8217;s whiteboard. While the post makes some decent points, it also highlights the Big-AI attitude that the AI surveillance state is in fact a good thing, and strongly implies that the Good Guys need to do war crimes before the Bad Guys get around to it.<\/i> &#8220;The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal,&#8221; one of the 22 points states. &#8220;It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The book is billed as &#8220;a passionate call for the West to wake up to our new reality,&#8221; and other excerpts in the social media post include assertions such as: &#8220;Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public&#8221;; &#8220;National service should be a universal duty&#8221;; &#8220;The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone&#8221;; and &#8220;Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>The statement criticizes the West&#8217;s resistance to &#8220;defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity,&#8221; as well as the treatment of billionaires and the &#8220;ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Palantir #Posts #Bond #Villain #Manifesto<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DeanonymizedCoward writes: Engadget reports that Palantir has posted to X a summary of CEO Alex Karp and Nicholas W.
