“Палантир” (Palantir) компани өөрийн гүйцэтгэх захирал Алекс Карпын хамтран бичсэн “Технологийн бүгд найрамдах улс: Хүчтэй бодлого, сул итгэл, барууны ирээдүй” хэмээх шинэ номын тоймыг нийтэлжээ.
Уг тоймд АНУ-ын өнөөгийн нөхцөл байдал уналтад орсон мэт харагдаж буйг тэмдэглээд, хиймэл оюун ухааныг шинэ эрин үеийн “стратегийн зэвсэг” хэмээн тодорхойлсон байна. Тус компанийн үзэж буйгаар улс орнууд гадны өрсөлдөгчдөөсөө давуу тал олж авахын тулд нэгдсэн технологи-цэргийн төсөлд идэвхтэй хамрагдах зайлшгүй шаардлагатай ажээ.
Палантир компани технологийн салбарын тэргүүнүүдийг хүндэтгэх шаардлагатайг онцолж, тэдний эсрэг чиглэсэн “цуцлах соёл”-ыг (cancel culture) зогсоохыг уриалсан байна. Мөн нийгмийн бүх соёлыг нэгэн адил түвшинд үнэлэх нь буруу бөгөөд зарим соёл нь “дунд зэргийн, хоцрогдсон” байхад, бусад нь “гайхамшиг бүтээсэн” гэдгийг тодотгожээ.
Өдгөө 350 тэрбум ам.долларын зах зээлийн үнэлгээтэй батлан хамгаалалтын салбарын томоохон гүйцэтгэгч болох Палантир компанийн хиймэл оюун ухааны хэрэгслүүд дэлхий даяар явагдаж буй цэргийн мөргөлдөөнүүдэд хэдийнэ ашиглагдаж эхлээд байна. Энэхүү шинэ ном нь тус компанийн барууны орнуудын аюулгүй байдал, технологийн давуу байдлыг бэхжүүлэхэд баримталж буй үзэл баримтлалыг илэрхийлж байгаа юм.

Accompanied by the explanation “we get asked about it a lot,” the Palantir X account published a long post on Sunday summarizing The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West, a book co-authored by Palantir CEO Alex Karp, and published a little over a year ago. Nicholas W. Zamiska is the other credited co-author.
Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel…

I guess people must have been spamming Palantir with requests for a 22-point summary of a book that, according to Gideon Lewis-Kraus’s review in the New Yorker, “reads like an automated Spotify playlist of the greatest hits of national decline.” Why anyone would ask for this I have no idea, but if that was you, I hope you enjoyed Palantir’s long answer.
The summary comes with no single thesis, but a picture emerges of America as decadent and devoid of a sense of possibility, in need of a unifying technological-military project to compete with—and presumably kill—our enemies with the help of AI, the new supreme weapon for a post-nuclear era. No surprises so far, since Palantir overtly pitches itself as an AI-powered death delivery system.
In the process, the post essentially says we should respect our tech leaders instead of being mean and doing cancel culture to them, and we should quit acting like all cultures are good when some cultures, Palantir’s post says, “have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful,” while others have “produced wonders.”
The final point is this:
“We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?”
Patient and generous readers of conservative thought (or listeners of the Know Your Enemy podcast) will recognize a lot of what’s in this Palantir tweet as a hi-tech riff on ideas from twentieth century thinkers like Leo Bloom—someone who, by the way, denied being a conservative. Bloom denounced the education system of his day for devaluing the Western cannon of books and of Western thought in general, an essential wellspring of wisdom in his view.
Similarly, Karp, it may or may not be worth pointing out, voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 while many of his friends and business associates abandoned liberalism and became ride-or-die MAGA. But for what it’s worth, Karp also once claimed to “spend a lot of time talking to Nazis.”
Still, at a time when hard-rightists and racists don’t mask their ideology or drape it in euphemism, it’s fair to at least acknowledge that Karp and Zamiska’s views have the dubious virtue of being murky.
Palantir isn’t a blog or newsletter, though. It’s a defense contractor with a market capitalization of about $350 billion, and it’s currently getting what it seems to wish for in its X post. Its AI tools are already being used in wars around the world. One of those wars is being framed by our president as a clash of civilizations in which one is capable of completely wiping out the other, and just might do so if it doesn’t get its way.
So, assuming it’s meant to be viewed as a statement of purpose at this consequential moment in time, Palantir’s X post is genuinely clarifying.
