Palantir CEO’s new book says Silicon Valley has ‘lost its way’

Alexander Carp, co-founder and CEO of Palanti, opened his new book with an provocative announcement: “Silicon Valley has lost his way.”

For the past decade or more, the data analytics company has become specific to its work for US military and intelligence agencies, mostly out of limelight. Last year, in A rare interview with The New York TimesHe describes himself as “progressive but not awake”, with “consistently western attitude”.

Now, ”Technical Republic: Strict strength, soft faith and the future of the West“(Palantir’s corporate head and legal consultant Nicholas Jameska’s co-composition to the CEO), Carp has written some of a manifesto. In fact, he and Jameska described it as “the beginning of the speech of the theory” behind Palanty.

In terms of telling them, the initial success of Silicon Valley created a close alliance between technology agencies and the US government. They argued that the alliance was divided, the government refers to the challenge of developing the next wave of pathbreaking technology to the private sector “, while the Silicon Valley” turned on, focuses on narrow consumer products, rather than the lecture projects, rather than the speech projects. To add and add to the welfare. “

The pair criticized Silicon Valley output as “online ad and shopping as well as impressed by social media and video sharing platforms,” ​​suggests that the result of an industry gives the building heroism that is suitable for construction or why not asking.

“The pages we follow are the central argument that his relationship with the government of the software industry should be rebuilt and his efforts and attention to create technology and artificial intelligence powers that we collectively solve the challenges we will solve,” Carp and Enter Jameiska.

They also argued that Silicon Valley’s “Engineering Elite” “Defense of the Nation and a National Project Lecture – What is this country, what our values ​​are and what we stand have a recognized obligation to participate.”

The reviewers did not fully win. Bloomberg, John Gang Complaint That “Technological Republic” is not a book at all, but a part of corporate sales content. “

And the New York, Gidion Lewis-Crows Proposed The book is a “Anacronism”, probably written before Donald Trump’s win in the November 2024 election. Now, Lewis-Crows writes, “The attitude of mutual supporting relationship between Washington and Silicon Valley has become almost indifferent to the interim.”

In fact, what Carp and Jamiska have criticized are “many business leaders are reluctant to exclude social and cultural debates in any meaningful way and sometimes and from the theater.”

Of course, we are now watching this instruction to be involved in at least one business leader politics, as Trump’s ally Elon Kasturi attempts to rebuild the Federal Government Through his official skill department.
