I love to hear people's stories right so I asked this one girl like what were
you doing
through the family because I don't speak Arabic so we're using translators and
um and she's like
oh I was just sitting in my tent reading the Quran which is like the holy book
like reading
the bible right and uh this quadcopter just shot through the tent and here I am
you know and you
know there's some weirdness going on when a bullet goes from up to down you
know like people usually
get shot from forward to back right yeah from up to down and sitting in a tent
is very strange
so you know there are some people who are suspicious about quadcopter shooting
middle
of tents which is in the green zone the safe zone where civilians live but it's
almost every day we
are hearing of civilians girls boys being shot by quadcopters I haven't seen
one myself but I wasn't
out there right I was in the hospital we said quadcopter what do you mean by
that well this is kind of
interesting so they're basically these drones that have been engineered to um
shoot has like an assault
rifle on them remotely activated um it's like a kind of a drone so to speak
does it look like that kind
of I haven't seen one oh you haven't if I they say if you see one you're
probably gonna get shot
granted we're American but we weren't allowed to go there anyways but could you
hear drones ever oh yeah
oh 24/7 there's drone buzzing over you really yeah they say they know where
everyone is they're watching
everyone's face it's probably some crazy AI stuff I mean honestly I think they
probably act like have
everyone's phone you know attract we were connecting to the Israeli towers too
so it's like they they know
where we are yeah there's um there's a company called Palantir I know that I
believe see if you can bring
that up that I believe had um which I believe is helping with some of the drone
AI work over in
Gaza Palantir allegedly enables Israel AI targeting in Gaza raising concerns
over war crimes um
earlier this month and this says allegedly earlier this month uh saw a
continuation of that effort with the
targeting of three well-marked or fully approved aid vehicles belonging to
world central kitchen
killing their seven occupants and ensuring that the food would never reach
those dying of starvation
the targeting was precise placing missiles dead center in the aid agency's
rooftop logos Israel however
said it was simply a mistake similar to the mistaken killings of nearly 200
other aid workers in just a
matter of months such horrendous mistakes are hard to understand considering
the enormous amount of advanced
targeting AI hardware and software provided to the ismail Israeli military and
spy agencies some of it by one
American company in particular Palantir technologies we stand with Israel the
Denver-based company said
in posts on x and LinkedIn the board of directors of Palantir will be gathering
in Tel Aviv next week
for its first meeting of the new year so when was this
April 2024 oh so yeah I remember that so there was a it's a while back yeah
well there was an Israeli
uh website 972 mag that actually called this out so it's Israeli information I
think it's Project
Lavender and um there's a mission where the AI basically gets permission to
kill a Hamas commander
if there's like 300 collateral damage and then if that's like if it's going to
go over 300 civilians
then there's an operation that gets activated called like daddy's home where it
waits for that Hamas guy
to go home and just shoots the entire family it's just crazy like the fact that
this is completely
normalized now and I think this is I think this is experimental I think this is
what's going to you
know the future is going to have everything to do with what we're saying here I
I agree with you go
back to that first article just uh the project involves selling the ministry on
artificial intelligence
platform that uses reams of classified intelligent intelligence reports to make
life or death
determinations about which target to attack in an understatement several years
ago Karp admitted
our product is used on occasion to kill people the morality of which he himself
occasionally questions
I have asked myself if I were younger at college would I be protesting me
yeah and this is allegedly this is just stuff that I'm reading from an article
here which website is this
this is business and human rights resource center what's wild is uh that this
is the same company
that's now has a contract to operate in America palantir lands 10 billion
dollar army software and data
contract so palantir has linked a contract with us army worth up to 10 billion
to meet growing warfare
demands over the next decade as part of the deal palantir will help the
military streamline efficiencies
while preparing for threats consolidating 75 total contracts into one
enterprise deal um the agreement
creates a comprehensive framework for the army's future software and data needs
so I think my fear is
that uh the in the future this is what it'll be like we'll be living in a
surveillance state and
this is what it'll be like and I hate to say that but I don't know if it's my
fear it just seems like
um like that's kind of where we're headed did it ever seem over there yeah like
like it was a
experimental grounds over there like it must seem so dystopian like what even
because does it feel
like a war where do you see like Hamas troops like do you see any of that
military no it seemed overkill
for what we were visualizing like you know see f-35 or f-16 I'm not sure which
one but some fast jet
flying overhead at night and then you hear the drone buzzing then you hear the
tank the the
Merkava tanks in the distance you can see them with your own eyes right and
then you hear them
shooting and then you can hear the shell landing and then you hear the Apache
helicopter shooting
and then you hear the rockets landing and it's like how is this all happening
against some people
underground like it something's not adding up and then like I said from a
doctor's perspective
you're seeing the casualties which are civilians I mean you can make whatever
conclusion you want about
what's going on from the military aspect and I I am also suspicious like what
what is going on is it
just like a big show of different equipment we actually had a situation where
there was a some
sort of a gas being used and um patients were asphyxiating um but we didn't
know what it was there's
no testing right but um um you know the x-ray was normal the chest x-ray was
normal but the patients
were to fix it it was really weird and we had no idea what what we were
treating so we would just
watch them in the icu make sure they were you know oxygen was okay um so there's
some weird stuff
going on and it's not um just me saying that if you look at some of the locals
or say there's bombs
which we've never heard before um there's um explosions that we've never seen
before uh one
time we saw this bomb that's like a shotgun bomb that explodes into thousands
of pellets and just
disfigures the body it doesn't penetrate as deeply but it just completely disfigures
the body and it's
just like man like what is going on there's so many such a variety of different
things from a military
point of view going on and i'm just seeing the results of it in the er from
again kids women
children elderly handicapped people and something doesn't add up yeah yeah i
think that's the
feeling it gets even it's like what what what's happening and then the weird
thing too is like
we're seeing this right like just on tick tock social media you're seeing
videos it's like
whoa does that not do nobody even care anymore if that's happening like are we
becoming like immune to
it is that happening just to put videos out to make people immune to to a
massacre like i i don't
understand like it starts to make because then i start wondering am i part of
some experiment you
know and i just i don't know it i just don't even understand it and but then it
does start to make you
believe in pure evil because you're like well what what else would do something
like this yeah there's
actually this interview with uh peter thiel with some uh i think some pastor
who's asking him like
you know when the antichrist comes um what kind of technology thing you think
he's going to be using
and then he's like oh i think greta theenberg you know i think that she's going
to develop the
technology for the antichrist and then the the pastor's like well you're
developing this like
defense company that has all this technology don't you think maybe the antichrist
would be using your
company he's like no i don't see that you gotta watch it really let me see it
pull it up this is my
my my very specific question for you right is that you are you're you're an you're
an investor in ai
you're you know you're deeply invested in palantir in military technology and
technologies of
surveillance and technologies of warfare and so on right and it just seems to
me that when you tell me
a story about the antichrist coming to power and using the fear of
technological change to sort of impose
order on the world i feel like that antichrist would be maybe be using the
tools that you that you were
that you were building right like wouldn't the antichrist be like great you
know we're not going
to have any more technological progress but i really like what palantir has
done so far right i mean
isn't that if isn't that a concern wouldn't that be the you know the irony of
history would be that the man
publicly worrying about the antichrist accidentally hastens his or her arrival
uh they're all look there are all these different
scenarios i obviously don't think that that's what i'm doing i uh i mean to be
clear i don't think
that's i don't think that's what you're doing either i'm just interested in how
you get to a world
willing to submit to permanent authoritarian rule well but doesn't have an
answer but again uh
there there are these different gradations of this we can describe but
is is this so preposterous what i've just told you as a broad account of the
stagnation that the entire
world has submitted for 50 years to peace and safety ism this is a first thessalonians
5 3 the slogan of
the antichrist is peace and safety because and and we've submitted i mean it's
a and you know what
it's scary to be alive but at the same time it's like this is his where you are
this is where we are
and most people just want to take care of their families you know they just
want to get home and
get their kids safe and get them fed you know and
Thank you.
