Alex Karp on zero-sum competition in artificial intelligence

Alex Karp says AI companies don't understand the world is zero-sum. "[Silicon Valley companies] do “think it’s zero-sum: they think it’s zero-sum versus each other.” "They absolutely are fighting. It's my own rhetoric, but I happen to think it's true: it's going to be chips ontology, and I suspect, in the end, one-and-a-half providers." "They pretend they don't think it's zero-sum, but then ask them how they feel about their competitor... these people are fighting very, very hard for the dominant position." "What they don't understand is that in the world, it's zero-sum. But I actually think the primary issue in the valley is it's going to be zero-sum vis-à-vis you." "When politicians figure out this is the one winning issue, it's going to be zero-sum. It's going to be your money and your company being zero-sum nationalized. So that's the part they don't understand." "It seems to be very hard in this culture... to explain to people that we're in a competitive environment, because things here are so good. They don't understand how different it will be; and how much we will change; and how much the pressure will be on America, not just legally, but militarily and culturally, if we fall behind." @PalantirTech @KTMBoyle
