The 'manifesto' reads very much like it was written by someone who is on Twitter way too much, and considers quote tweets to be public harrassment.

I felt like nothing gives away their disconnect from reality as much as feeling comfortable interrupting their wildly anti-human, anti non-wealthy rant to scream, "LEAVE ELON ALONE!" It was a tantrum posted as manifesto. The NYT Best Seller list has always been manipulable; I definitely have questions about this Turner Diaries/ Unabomber rant appearing on it.

Perhaps it is AI generated or semi-AI generated?

I stopped using Twitter when that right-arm raising guy took over; to me the whole website appears to have been AI generated. Perhaps I am wrong.

The arm raising thing was wild. Watching the double standard from the media as a guy with a literal nazi tattoo do the same thing with nary a comment is just so blatant.

I love that nobody calls it X

Don’t forget the drugs.

Maybe some people should use AI tools to proofread their work for content and tone before publishing.

I'm not edgy and cool enough to understand this website.

All of the poster’s previous attempts had been flagged to death but this one apparently aligns better with the prevailing sentiment.

Those flags were strangely funny to me. We posted our open source privacy tool. A flag. We posted a "Forensic analysis of the RLHF supply chain: The $2/HR labor behind AI alignment." A flag. :) Even our "In Memoriam: Jason Snitker, a.k.a. Parmaster. RIP Legend" was flagged!? Etc.

Sincere advice: Consider engaging with a community before trying to use it to promote your work.

You account is not even 3 months old. In that time you made 6 submissions, all of them appears to be to your own work. You have only commented 9 times, with almost all of them being comments about your work.

Thank you. I now get it. I am new here; never liked to post my own stuff and then went overboard.

I _think_ I align with your beliefs, but the style of writing, color scheme, etc., all scream 2010s Anonymous, and it's very hard to get past that aesthetic to determine if there is any there there.

Are you a plural person? Or is this a team? What's with the plural pronouns? Again, I do wish there were less style here.

We as the team behind.

Palantir is an evil pro-technocracy, anti-democratic company run my an actual fascist that wants to divide up the world into masters and slaves?

Almost refreshing to see some good old-fashioned schizoposting, which usually doesn’t end up on HN.

Host blocks VPNs and I just noticed a huge spike in traffic.

Maybe that’s the protocol?

Palantir is just a wing of the intelligence network / military industrial complex. The NSA has been using private front companies to get around the 4th amendment and suck down as much data as possible about ALL citizens for decades now.

Much of the technology built in SV was either birthed in a military research lab (ARPA / DARPA) or built in a private context with an intended military / surveillance use case. Much of this tech is highly lucrative due to its invasive nature but make no mistake that is not the main reason for its development.

Read Surveillance Valley by Yasha Levine and Means of control by Byron Tau if you want to learn more. If you read those books it will become abundantly clear what Palantir is, and it’s nothing new.

People think you have to be designing missiles or tanks to count as a military contractor but not all military technology looks violent on its face. Much of it operates underneath the hood and is used to target said missles or simply provide a way for decision makers to wash their hands of cold blooded murder. See: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2026/03/24/...

So is this AI generated? My assumption was yes so I skipped it. Either way I think this actually makes it harder to analyse Palantir's wrongdoings any any potential flow of money into lobbyists. Having a flashy website isn't a substitute for real analysis.

I miss the 1990s a bit; there used to be elderly folks who did not know much about HTML/CSS, but they were real, no AI autogenerating slop there. I can't even tell what is real and what is AI slop anymore.

Why would you assume so? The author is critiquing notorious AI maximalist.

FWIW, their are typoes in it, too.

What a load of bs.
