Note from Harry Halpin These are my personal beliefs, not those of Nym. Yet as a philosopher that founded a tech startup working on anti-surveillance tech, I have a responsibility to respond to this manifesto of Palantir and it's so-called "philosopher-CEO" Alex Karp. I studied philosophy under the French philosopher of technology Bernard Stiegler, who tried to warn us of the rise of behavioral control and artificial stupidity on digital platforms. It is to his legacy that I dedicate this response. For my further thoughts on the political philosophy of technology and surveillance, see my latest philosophy paper on the "Immaterial Constitution" created by internet standards in response to the Snowden revelations of NSA mass surveillance. The battle continues, and now the stakes are even higher. source: https://www.nym.com/blog/anti-palantir-manifesto Thanks to @geertlovink@mastodon.social for posting this to https://www.nettime.org! 3/3 #palantir #antiPalantirManifesto #fightPalantir
