Palantir CEO Alex Karp unloaded on rival AI companies during a heated interview on CNBC on Wednesday, accusing them of having an “effing insane” business model while openly fretting he was a “mad man” who was about to get kicked out of the studio.
In a nearly unbroken 20-minute monologue, the data mining executive implied that top AI labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI were misleading corporate partners and the public alike by trying to “oversell” the risks of AI while at the same time offering powerful models to companies and governments across the world.
