re: Palantir, AI, and the oncoming police state - ushered in (inadvertently) under Trump

Obviously he’s not against this or he’d stop it.

Enjoy our new techno-fascist overlords.

As other posters have explained, there isn’t much Trump can do to stop the usurpation of our 4th amendment rights. He would be fighting the desires of every politician on planet earth. Besides, Trump is not about reduction of power of government, just size, and a lot of people are missing that.

Obviously your expectations are different, yes?

Not at all. I just understand (somewhat) the complexity of the issue at hand and understand it is all about timing. You're talking about RICO cases. They're not going to bring charges until they're ready to prosecute all of it.

If it occurs it will be litigated and likely ruled unconstitutional.

Uhh…

It's already occurring

Palantir has partnered with major law enforcement already and some can see more information today. People need to keep up with the times

It's also been being used by our military for a long time now with great success.

Here is what the deputy was alluding too in what he can pull up instantaneously on a driver he pulls over.

From the plate itself:

Registered owner's name, address, and date of birth
Vehicle description (make, model, color, VIN)
Registration status (current, expired, suspended)
Insurance status in most states
Whether the vehicle is reported stolen
Outstanding recalls on the vehicle

Cross-referenced information about the registered owner:

Valid driver's license status
Any warrants (arrest warrants, bench warrants)
Criminal history summary
Previous traffic stops and citations
Restraining orders or protection orders
Concealed carry permits in some jurisdictions
Gang affiliations or intelligence flags in some systems
Whether the person is on probation or parole

Contextual flags:

Previous calls for service at the registered address
Known associates flagged in law enforcement databases
Whether the vehicle has been involved in prior incidents
"Be on the lookout" (BOLO) alerts

Where are the warrants for the Epstein file predators?

---

How is the US going to get warrants on people who live across the globe and who were involved in these activities in many cases in foreign countries? A number of countries don't extradite their own citizens (i.e. France, UK, etc.) and the US can only prosecute acts committed in US jurisdictions. The USVI actually has sole prosecutorial jurisdiction over the Epstein issues that took place on his island.

You people who continuously think the Epstein stuff is going to come to light are truly uneducated about the legal process which is why the DNC and RNC keep pushing this crap out. It is intended to make Trump weak nothing more nothing less. No one is going to jail and no one will even face a grand jury in the US or elsewhere.

Plus most of the real sick information is locked up in a federal court in Florida by a Judge who in 2008 signed a court order to redact all of the information by all parties involved.

Trump, Bongino, & Patel have told the public time and time again that this was a dead horse and they are 100% correct regardless of much political pressure you put on this. Now all we have is people's reputations destroyed because they merely had their photo taken with Epstein at a fundraiser/social event or innocently enough rented one of Epstein's 9 planes from his air charter business.

When you rent a charter plane from let's say one of the companies operating out of Signature Airways--do you know whose plane you are actually chartering out? I guarantee you that you have no idea.

As for the victims well all of their civil cases for the most part are sealed with the courts they litigated in so we will never know who whose perverts were/are. You want to know why we will never know who the perverts are? its because the victims settled their cases and they voluntarily gave up their right to lock their abuse away in sealed court files.

Trump is as pleased as punch to welcome Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Sundar Pichai, Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Tech Bros etal.

Baaad sign.

Do you expect the president to ignore the biggest leaders in the tech industry, especially when these people are responsible for possibly the largest economic boon we will ever see due to AI?

This is like the people asking why Trump golfs with Lindsay Graham. You people expect Trump to do everything without actually working with people in power. You expect him to grow the economy without working with business leaders in one of the most profitable and economy-driving sectors. It's insane.

It's easy to criticize a practical person like Trump when you have unrealistic ideologically-driven expectations.

HOWEVER, if you are tech-savvy and leary enough of big government/private equity getting in bed together with big tech and “AI”, you can clearly see the writing on the wall… Led by Palantir, the CIA, Musk, Google, Gates, NVIDIA, etc - a convergence of interests is leading to a MASSIVE increase of live surveillance and an abuse of 4th amendment rights.

this is why JD Vance is the vice president, FYI

You know how they do face recognition at airports?

You can still refuse to give consent and just give them your ID.

And they joke that its only a matter of time until it will be mandatory.
