The new book of the Palance CEO said Silicon Valley ‘lost his way’

Palantitarian co-founder and CEO Alexander Karp opened a new book with a provocative declaration: “Silicon Valley lost his way.”

In the last ten years or so, the information analyst has risen to the popularity for its military and intelligence of the United States, the carp is mainly focused. Last year, in A rare interview with the New York TimesHe described himself as “consistently, the Western view” as “to avoid progressive but not.”

Now, “Technological Republic: Hard power, soft confidence and future of the West“(Nicholas Zamiska, the author of the CEO of Palance CEO), the carp manifestor wrote something. In fact, he and Zamiska describe it as” the beginning of theory “behind Palatir.

In their explanation, the early success of Silicon Valley, was created by a close alliance between technology companies and the US government. The government of this union has difficulty developing the next wave of technologies to the private sector of the government and “Silicon Valley”, and focusing on the energy of the Silicon Valley, and focuses on the energy and welfare of our welfare. “

The couple criticizes the performance of Silicon Valley’s performance “online advertising and shopping, as well as social media and video sharing platforms,” ​​without value, or why without value.

“The central argument we progress in the pages followed by the Program Industry to redirect the government and focusing on the government and redirecting the opportunities of technology and artificial intelligence to solve the most pressing problems.

Silicone Valley’s “Engineering Elite” “Engineering Elite” has a positive obligation to participate in the defense of the Nation and a national project articulation – what is the country, what are our values ​​and what are our values. “

Reviewers have not completely won. In Bloomberg, John Ganz sagly “Technological Republic” This is not a book, but a part of corporate sales material. “

And in New Yorker, Gideon Lewis-Kraus proposed “Anachronism” is “Anachronism”, where the book’s “Anachronism” was written before the victory of Donald Trump in the November 2024 elections. Now Lewis-Kraus said, “The vision of the mutual support relationship between Washington and Silicon valley would be in the interim area, almost strange.”

Indeed, something criticized by Karp and Zamiska, “In any meaningful and theatrical and theatrical forai,” in any meaningful and theater forai, it is not to ask for many business leaders to put beyond the most suitable social and cultural disputes. “

Of course, now at least one business leader is conducting this instruction to attract this instruction to politics Elon Musk is trying to recreate the Federal Government through the Department of Government Efficiency.
