Palantir's CEO just exposed Sam Altman and Dario Amodei for robbing every Fortune 500 company. Within two minutes, Alex Karp took the entire frontier AI industry apart on national television. His exact words: "Every single enterprise in this country, these people are LIVID. They are paying for tokens that create no value. These people are stealing the weights and alpha of my business." He literally said the entire frontier AI business model is intellectual property extraction dressed up as a subscription. Then he also destroyed the pricing model with a single question that Silicon Valley still refuses to answer: "If it was so valuable, let's say I can make you $1 billion tomorrow. Wouldn't I say I'll make you $1 billion and I want 30 percent? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?" That question breaks the industry. If OpenAI and Anthropic's models truly delivered the productivity gains the labs claim, they would take equity or a share of the profit they generate. They would not sell access by the million tokens. Token pricing is itself the CONFESSION that the product cannot produce reliable value at scale. If it did, they would price for the value. But they price for the compute because that is what they are actually selling. Karp went even further... He called the entire arrangement "a wealth tax that does not help the poor. It just punishes." American businesses are transferring the alpha of their operations, meaning the workflows, the customer data, the strategy memos, the internal models that make them competitive, directly into the training pipelines of a handful of Silicon Valley labs. Once those labs retrain, the customer's own edge becomes the next enterprise product sold back to their competitors. And the part the AI industry does not want anyone thinking about: Every enterprise running its confidential documents, its customer conversations, and its financial models through a frontier model is potentially teaching that model HOW to replace them. The vendor collects the token fee AND the compounding intelligence about that customer's business. That is the mechanism. And that is why Karp used the word "stealing." He claims this is why every executive he meets is furious in private and silent in public. Nobody wants to be the CEO who called out the labs and then discovered their next competitor was built on their own leaked workflows. The entire AI industry has been priced for perfection on one assumption: That frontier labs produce durable, defensible value that justifies infinite compute spend. But Karp just told us that the customers do not believe that assumption anymore. They believe they are being taxed without benefit, watched without consent, and copied without recourse. The moment enterprises stop believing, the whole valuation stack shakes.

This is why people built guillotines. GOP Rep. Troy Nehls, when asked about 60% of Americans struggling with affordability: "Affordability? What are you talking about?... I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice rib eyes... Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do."

If Charlie was alive he’d be saying “I told you so”

@james_xond This horribly unethical decision supercharged the rise of the US oligarchy. The US government was always influenced by wealth and power, but after Citizens United they don't even pretend to work for the American people.

@RandPaul @StrainDoug Not that I wouldn’t love to see some accountability for a change but if we’re taking bets I’ll wager he never sees the inside of a prison cell.

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history. He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough. RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

@JackLombardi_ii @joekent16jan19 I’m wondering if the real angle here is China. The US government just can’t come out and say it.

Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M." Government: "Totally reasonable." You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival." Government: "You owe taxes on $60K." You: "That's not—" Government: "File by May 15."

This. Is. Terrifying. This technology should NEVER be allowed to be used. Ford can fvck right off and so can the Congress members who voted to put this tech in vehicles starting in 2027.

Hypothetically…….. We are being taxed on money we never made. Let that sink in. If I bought my property outright for $160,000 in 2009 Now the county says it’s worth $446,000. Did I sell it? No. Did I make a profit? No. Did I get a check for $446,000? No. But my taxes jumped like I did. That’s the problem. This isn’t income. This isn’t cash. This is a number someone decided on paper and now I’m being billed for it. If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell. If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax. So why does owning a home work differently? Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains? A house isn’t just an investment, it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money. You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it. This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received. It’s time people start to notice.

@elonmusk Not saying I agree with the tax the rich crowd but I have something to say. Maybe if the corporations hadn’t chipped away at the middle class for the last 40 years the working class wouldn’t be yelling about taxing and or eating the rich. Think about it. 🤔

The moment when we all realized just how bad things actually were: “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein”

@MorseReport @CMONMAN77177847 Say goodbye to the 1A and 2A.

For years, @RepThomasMassie was popular among MAGA: until he opposed a couple of Trump policies, and Trump told his followers to hate Massie him because he's a "grandstander" who accomplishes nothing. Overnight, huge numbers of MAGA followers started reciting that like some mantra. Last night, Massie just helped defeat renewal of warrantless domestic spying on Americans: accomplishing more -- just in this alone -- than 90% of House members.

The only reason Trump was able to lead a movement full of "social conservatives" and self-identified devout Christians -- despite his limitlessly libertine and gluttonous public life of serial adultery, overlapping marriages, hush money to a porn star with whom he had an affair while his wife was taking care of their newborn baby, very close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, etc. -- is because he never postured as a paragon of sexual virtue. But this is now the second time Trump tried to malign Joe Kent for remarrying "quickly" after losing his wife in war (Kent re-married 4 years later) -- implying something untoward in Kent's personal life -- and when Trump of all people does that, it exposes the laughable fraud of this movement of his followers posturing as though they are morally superior to anyone.

🚨WTF: Trump on Joe Kent: "I'm not a fan of the guy… His wife was killed. He remarried fairly quickly." Trump cheated on his 1st wife with his 2nd wife, cheated on his 2nd wife with his 3rd wife, and when pregnant, cheated with a porn star. Get real.

AR-15 bans were never enough… now they’re openly talking about confiscation through “police power.” That’s the part gun owners need to sit with. First they say it’s just a ban on new sales. Then they give you a grandfather clause so you calm down. Then they come back and say keeping what you already legally own “undermines the policy.” That was always the play. And this is exactly why so many of us keep saying the same thing: There is no real compromise when the end goal is confiscation. So I want to hear from y’all— At what point do you stop calling it “gun control” and start calling it confiscation? Is it when they ban new sales? When they remove the grandfather clause? Or when they threaten prison unless you give it up? Comment with: BAN GRANDFATHER or PRISON And bigger question— Do you think AR-15 bans are always just step one? Comment: YES or NO Then tell me why. youtu.be/b3p8Xk04uvc

@antikommunistic @LibertyCappy So they’re all wrong and we’re really winning bigly?

This communication from Tucker Carlson and his company is very true very worrying and extremely gracious. Every American and International observer should read it.

The best take I have seen yet on Trump crashing out..
