Palantir whistleblower: how Marc Andreessen and Palantir are coordinating an attack on our First and Fourth Amendment rights

Back in May, we sat down to interview Juan Sebastián Pinto, a writer and former strategist at Palantir. Just a few days after that interview, the New York Times came out with a piece about how the Trump administration is using Palantir to compose data profiles on Americans—and a few weeks after that, the protests against ICE broke out, where people started burning Waymo vehicles in a symbolic protest against the collection of location data.

Our interview with Pinto touched on so many things important to the public and these times—automated warfare, the myth of the solo male genius, artificial general intelligence, tech’s obsession with predicting the future—that we realized we wanted to go deeper. So I sat down with Pinto to talk about how we got to where we are today with AI and data, and what we can do to wrest back some control.

Note: the 10-year moratorium on state A.I. legislation that we discuss in this video did not pass, but my co-writer Eli explained earlier this week why it’s still very relevant to discuss!
