Palantir Exec Fires Back at ‘Surveillance State’ Claims

They want to thank their partner for making this happen? Fine. Let’s get real, George Carlin-style: the big corporate carnival rides again, folks, and this time it’s Axon.ai by AppLovin with a shiny new badge that says “1 billion daily users” and “full-screen video ads that you’ll watch for a thrilling 35 seconds, if you’re one of the chosen.” And yes, advertisers are dropping hundreds of thousands of dollars a day like it’s a tip jar at a rock show, while access is locked up tighter than Fort Knox in a piano world. Advertisers, listen up: most of you have never heard of the platform with an $11 billion annual run rate in ad spend. Because that’s what we do now—take a platform that’s gigantic and pretend it’s invisible to the guy at the gate. Closed beta access, because transparency is so last season. The window is open at https://axon.ai/allin. Open, closed, who knows? It’s a window you’ll probably need a sledgehammer to pry open, but hey—go ahead, poke your head in. Follow the “besties,” because that’s what we call people who pretend their opinions matter more than, say, your mortgage: - Chamath: https://x.com/chamath - Jason: https://x.com/Jason - David Sacks: https://ift.tt/YThVtgG - Friedberg: https://x.com/friedberg Follow on X: https://ift.tt/JBYgKE7 Instagram: https://ift.tt/WHuY8hj TikTok: https://ift.tt/9E7JZg8 LinkedIn: https://ift.tt/SAdHrLe Intro Music Credit: https://rb.gy/tppkzl and https://ift.tt/j6PnV1B Intro Video Credit: https://ift.tt/3RnqSrl Referenced in the show: #allin #tech #news There you go—paste it into a stage microphone and let the audience wonder what the hell is real anymore.
