Palantir CEO Alex Karp argues the neurodivergent will thrive in the AI era.
- His core claim: "We're in a non-playbook world, and the playbook's not that valuable."
- People with dyslexia, he says, can't follow the playbook—so they "invent new and generative things."
The remark ties AI's displacement of routine, process-following work to the premium on divergent, creative thinking.
