Palantir CEO: business now moves 5x faster; researcher warns of posthuman takeover
danfaggella · x · 2026-10-18
Palantir CEO Alex Karp argues "time is not time anymore"—business moves 5x faster than five years ago, and slow execution signals parasitic slack in the stack. Cognitive ethicist Dan Faggella extends the logic to people: once AI outperforms humans at strategy, decisions, and communication, earth's intelligence regime will serve posthuman expansion, leaving humanity with near-zero causal purchase on the future—requiring global AGI coordination against RSI takeover and active effort to shape the trajectory of non-biological intelligences.
