The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q right, at least, agrees that we should have a strong border. One of the criticisms or concerns that I hear on the right, or from civil libertarians, is that Palantir has a large-scale data, data collection program on American citizens, so not foreign terrorists, not illegals, but American citizens. Can you just clear that up and say that either Palantir is not doing that, or under what circumstances you do?

A Yeah, so, um, first of all, I just want to, like, Palantir Like, there's a technical version, which I'm going to give you, but, like, we, we had a democratic administration come to us and basically ask us to do a Muslim database. Now, you would think, given the way I'm kind of besmirched as like some kind of, I don't know, it's like a Jewish conspiracy, that would be the first thing, according to them, I would do. We've never done anything like this. I've never done anything like this. Um, to actually understand the answer, any, and, and, and I love these questions about the skeptic, because, like, I actually love skeptics. Like, I tend to divide the world into, you have Palantir derangement system, syndrome, which I don't spend a lot of time on, and I think they're anti-builder. You have Palantir skeptics, and you have people who don't like Palantir. If you're a Palantir skeptic, or you don't like us, I want to engage. And the, Any technology that works can be abused. We are the single worst technology to use to abuse civil liberties, which is, by the way, the reason why we could never get the NSA or the FBI to actually buy our product. And until recently, like, SIGINT institutions would never buy our product. Yeah, you laugh because it's, like, obvious. If you want to do data analytics in a way that eviscerates our civil liberties, you don't want ACLs, you don't want branchin…
