Source→“Alex Karp came on CNBC or CNN and said like, no, the ROI question is still there to validate what you said.”
Source→“Palantir went from 18% growth to 98% growth, right? That's a good one. Unprecedented in our lifetimes... They had people who for a decade and a half were out there deploying massive change in the field for their customers.”

Source→“I think they're more nervous about frontier models usually, part because there's just like much more confusion around the data policy, about what's like actually happening to the props that I'm sending and where they're being stored and how they're being looked at.”
Source→“Alex Karp was saying that every large American enterprise and most large American enterprises were terrified of working with Frontier Labs.”
Source→“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→“He started with Karp's idea, but then he kind of provided a recipe or roadmap for how enterprises should operationalize that... enterprises have to establish a real trust boundary with private evals, proprietary learning loops inside the tenant, decoupled orchestration, and the explicit right to fine-tune their own outputs.”
Source→“Frontier AI tools from closed model providers are too expensive and don't offer enough clarity on IP protections.”

Source→“Karp said not too long ago on CNBC... talking about sovereign AI and how every company should own the full stack.”
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→“Palantir CEO Alex Karp's scathing critique yesterday shows U.S. AI labs are no longer viewed as untouchable.”
Source→“He called the AI industry 'effing insane' in a CNBC interview, accusing leading model companies of overcharging customers, harvesting their data, and leaving CEOs privately 'livid.'”
Source→“"Palantir's Alex Karp went on a CNBC rant Wednesday about how enterprise customers were furious with the cost of AI and the business practices of the foundation model companies, and would soon start acting on that."”

Source→“What percentage of the investors in Palantir have read the S-1, K1, right? Like, you know, 0.0001%. What percentage have you seen Alex on YouTube doing his thing? Yeah, exactly. You know, 100%.”
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.”
Source→“All of a sudden I'm getting Alfred Lynn and Alex Karp and Anduril and all these people.”

Source→“Palantir CEO Alex Karp says enterprise customers are privately 'unhappy' with frontier AI labs, arguing that companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are too focused on selling token usage and not enough on implementation, where he says most of the value from large language models will be created over the next several years.”
