i spent today frantically reading up on palmer luckey for this podcast interview this afternoon that we'd had scheduled for literally months then we promptly filled 18 minutes of 30 with talking about kathy hochul's new anti-data-centre initiative which is tbf pretty big news for them (they're local news in upstate NY) but now i know more about palmer luckey ew luckey is precisely who he appears to be, in all details. he is who he is telling you he is and wish he would stop telling you i found one (1) non-shitty fact about luckey: he thinks ai doomsday is nonsense i learnt how he's very concerned that some "kinetic approaches" are blocked by "lawyers" it takes some digging to translate this, but what he meant was, he wants automous drones to seek and kill people and is upset this is a war crime the other plus point of anduril is that none of its shit works. his drone systems literally don't fucking work. but having your weapons system fucking work was never a requirement to sell to the department of defense or, to use its proper name, the department of defense
