It appears we are in exactly the AI-related species death spiral Eliezer Yudkowsky has been foreseeing and warning against for most of his life.  Every idea we thought of, everything we tried, every post written, hoping to avert an AI arms race appears to have failed.

Karp (of course) is selling Palantir tech so that the vast US defence
spending will be given to Palantir.

Karp says -
“Our goal as a company is to help the United States and its allies
avoid war,” says Karp. “The only way to do that is to project such
overwhelming technological and strategic superiority that we scare the
daylights out of our adversaries.”

How does he expect every other nation in the world to respond?
Karp is saying that the US has to use AI to become the Empire that
dominates the world.
The AI race cannot be stopped; other nations must defend themselves.

The only hope for humanity is that the AI develops into an AGI that
has more sense than the humans trying to command it.
