“We're all about forward deployed engineers at Palantir and they're doing the same thing. You have Alex Karp from Palantir freaking out saying, how can you give your alpha to these companies? When in my opinion, he's just saying they're doing what we're doing.”

Source→“"I think the thing that he said that I hadn't really thought about in quite those terms is he started talking about AI safety in the enterprise and what that really looks like... What technical customers want is control over their compute, their models, their data stack, and their alpha, meaning their proprietary knowledge. They want to know they own the means of production."”

Source→“New media is unlimited formats, unlimited channels, and the brand is now the person. So it's not like where people talking about like when every Democrat came out and was mad about SpaceX. They weren't. They were mad about Elon because he's a brand.”
