Palmer is just another murderer. The fact that you platform him and try to normalise the industry that kills people for profit (literally what Palmer is doing) is disappointing to say the least.
The sound recordist on this did a great job recording such clean audio in extremely noisy environments. As a recordist myself, I applaud you Brendon Johnson
@@vice.nor.virtue Wizards are a class based off of pure intelligence and get technically get stronger the smarter they become. Chaotic neutral is a type of personality so to speak. That is an inherently unpredictable person that follows their own set of rules and morals and generally likes to trail blaze their own path through life. Hope that helped a bit lol.
@@backacheachehe's probably the most important person outside of the US military for maintaining Americas power and that power is absolutely necessary. Be very thankful for both him and Elon Musk.
@@onur0101a LOL delusional. It's obviously not scripted when the best they could find was a pocket multi tool set. That's just working within the limitations of reality.
@@onur0101a it's absolutely normal that the camera crew has their hex keys and normal screwdrivers on them all the time. Cameras today are very modular (you put on things, you take off things) and you have to adjust for every situation.
Gets what? A horrible reputatuon among normal people? Blood money? Guilty conscience? The proto-Skynet? The only thing he truly gets is to how be evil, unfortunately that makes some people like him.
Emily Chang, this series you’ve been doing is just amazing. The content, the story, the engagement from the individual being interviewed… It’s all just amazing. Very well done.
I am so buying Anduril when it goes public, I am betting on CEO with mullet. "Are you sure this is street legal?" "We are on the street aren't we?" lol
Cost Plus defense systems are the worst thing for the government ever and for the people who have to pay for it. It was okay because the lobbyists Grease the palms of those dirty Republicans and dirty Democrat politicians it was just say dirty politicians for they are red and blue and all other types Jesus Christ
I will note here that Hewlett and Packard, one of whom was a Marine, made a concious decision to NOT become dependent upon military contracts, for many reasons; they listened to Eisenhower's admonition.
@@simiacryptus4619Are you serious about this comment? Some parts of the video made people joke that the interviewer and the guy were on a date, but it's evident that the guy is just promoting his business.
6:17 we are truly living in a marvelous age when the billionaire CEO of a defense contractor startup is a weeb that has a figure of Jotaro Kujo and a bust of Rem from Re: Zero mounted beside his fireplace.
4chan gave us memes. Biggest problem is that 4chan let the Internet get out. It was never meant for mainstream society... The amount of an heros has skyrocketed
“Is this street legal?” “We are on a street, aren’t we?” Such an interesting way to answer this. I love this. Obviously this is not street legal but how quick he replied is awesome. This is how they break stuff and move fast in this field. Ask forgiveness later.
The problem with that is it only works when the person is responsible. Irresponsible people also want to just "ask for forgiveness, not permission", then next thing you know someone is dead, and instead of forgiveness they get prison time.
@@Vaeldarg i understand what you mean. I wasn’t directly talking specifically“road vehicle “ but “ask forgiveness” in business in general. At work for example sometimes I do things without asking because if I do it’s much more complicated and long than just doing it. That type of attitude in Palmer industry probably is what makes them where they are. A little piece of why
@@JeromeDemers There can be different reasons for why it is more complicated and longer of a process. It isn't always just unnecessary bureaucracy, sometimes there's a reason for it and the extra time could allow you to realise if you've missed something in your haste/eagerness. There is no "Palmer industry", as it said it's simply behaving as a startup tech company but fully involved with the military as its customers. And "what makes them where they are" tends to involve a lot of disregard for safety/practicality of their products. "move fast and break things" is also known as "being reckless".
@@adammontgomery7980you represent one of the biggest problems the USA faces today: You‘re smart enough to put 2 and 2 together, but 2E2 is a problem for you. That makes you highly susceptible to populist propaganda. And there‘s almost nothing you can do about it, because all you have left is to root for a team - without you really understanding what it‘s goal is. You clearly missed the point where the talk was about software winning the war. But even if you hadn‘t, you obviously wouldn‘t have the slightest clue of what is going on in Ukraine in this regard. But maybe there‘s still a chance?
@@curious_one1156 Balance sheets decide whether Palmer is the favorite CEO of the guy you're responding to? You make no sense. Also, Anduril is a private company getting US government contracts to produce defense tech. They don't need generic corporate quarterly plans. Quarterly plans are for companies who need to placate public shareholders without doing anything novel.
yes.. when the world population becomes very angry when most jobs are made obsolete then those AI robotic weapons systems will be something that many humans will not feel are so entertaining, or moral, as he and this video try to make out
Our society ... War is supposed to be something you engage in reluctantly and with appreciation of the damage it causes, not some weird fetishistic combination of Hugh Hefner, Iron Man and Gordon Gecko. We know that war happens and the military is necessary but it shouldn't be sexy.
If we had that mentality, we wouldv lost all world wars, and the germans wouldv been on the moon instead. Capitalism doesn't innovate. Every modern technology you could conceive of, was funded by the military industrial complex. Its almost difficult to name a modern innovation that wasn't the result of military funding.
Who said it was sexy? Did you not listen to him? There’s a real threat in world dictatorship with China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc. and unless the U.S. has the armament to fight these countries, the rest of the world is jacked.
Completely agree. Something about the tone of these feature pieces and the demeanor of the characters puts me off. This whole discussion should be somber, dry, and bit reluctant imo. Why is everyone wearing fun outfits and acting playful? Is there an inside joke I’m not getting? Do we not understand the obvious implications of this technology finding its way into the wrong hands? Why aren’t we having thorough discussions about the ethics of war in conjunction with these cute little military show and tells? It seems others are more comfortable with the psychological detachment…
@@mpwarrener12 Clearly you missed the point of the entire video while attempting to knock what he wears/how he asks. No longer will there be the defense contractor bureaucracy that slows down and runs up the budget of a project, what we will need in the future needs to be streamlined and if Palmer wants to do that in a hawaiian shirt, I'm all for it. China isn't too far away from eating our lunch and destroying our interests.
Loved it. I knew Palmer back when he was messing around with Dingoo retro handhelds and dreaming of building his own VR helmet. Glad to see he's doing well.
Uhhh no, he's almost definitely a psychopath. Psychopaths will do whatever they can to subvert your interpretation of them in order to not be classed as a threat, so his hippy hairstyles, birkenstocks and Hawaiian shirts are a classic way to throw you off his scent.
His personality is irrelevant. As long as his company can deliver technology that ensures fewer and fewer of our country's precious service men/women are hurt in the line of duty, I am all for it and wish him the best of luck.
This guy is correct and incorrect. Battles are won by those who are willing to fight them. Wars are won by those endure the outcome of every battle. Tech can enable but cannot define the outcome of wars and battles, ultimately it is human will that defines the outcome
Better tactics and even more crucial - solid logistics - can do wonders for a military force. These are force multipliers because the reality is the US and the west don't have the capacity to mobilize their populations anymore like the foes they may face.
You need both tech and human will. The Allies didn't have better military tech in WW2, but they did have better manufacturing tech. The will to outbuild the Axis military was just as important as the will to fight; without both the world order would be very different today.
To navigate the DoD acquisition process its practically a requirement. Despite the "fair" bidding process, you still need the relationships to the actual customer and who would know the customer better than retired leaders from the customer?
@jacobsquire7744 That's not how it works. It shows government workers that they can get a payout further down the road from the contractor if they want. No one works less and are overpaid more then bureaucrats today.
If he wants to build a better product that will actually integrate with existing platforms...hire more enlisted personnel and lower officer ranks that leave the military. They are the boots on the ground with hands on knowledge and ability to adapt things on the fly. The generals will just help you sell it once it's done.
I worry about the ethics and morals of libertarian tech bros. I feel like they'll do anything their minds tell them to do because they chafe at limits/constraints and are propelled by a sense of their own invincibility.
Palmer Lucky: When I sold Oculus I was worth 2 billion dollars. Now, 10 years later I am worth 1.8. You do the maths. He is such a Silicon Valley TV show character
*ATTENTION: palmer is WAAAAAAY exaggerating about china BECAUSE he is shilling hard for anduril in that movie. I won't say what country I am residing in now, but I have a US passport and know A LOT about china from experience.*
Can we just step back for a moment and let it sink in that 'Anduril' and 'Palantir' are unironically on the same side, and doing work that others have refused to do because of ethical concerns?
@@TheLeontheking As opposed to ignoring the problem until we end up in a major war? Jeez, I guess you play chess one step ahead. Well the world plays it multiple steps ahead...
@@joythought The answer to our world's problems can't be to produce more and newer weapons, but on !!honest!! diplomacy between major powers. Weapons are never for defense only, but can always be used for the offense as well. And private weapon manufacturers are the worst kind - they gain from an increase in conflict, so what do you think their incentives are?
@@TheLeontheking How does honest diplomacy work when russia decides to invade ukraine and they were asked not to for a long time before doing so and when china inevitably invades taiwan? i dont think honest diplomacy accomplishes anything in these circumstances
So interesting I watched it twice. Thank you for Emily Chang and team for REAL journalism. It's hard to believe this is sponsored by a major news source.
@0:24: To nitpick, it's not the fastest boat the US Navy ever built. That honor goes to the hydrofoil Pegasus class, with PHM Pegasus being the lead boat and flagship.
I still can't get over he has a LEGIT autotopia car from OG disneyland that he just drives around. I love this guy. "I only have six helicopters, now. I like buying old US nuclear bases and storing the world's biggest videogame collection down there." A man of culture for the ages.
As someone who's worked in this sector this is a refreshing change. Defence companies have gotten complacent thanks to archaic Government bureaucracy..
@@mitkoogrozev and who do you apologize for? What dictator or terrorist group do you pitch for? Do you see that the age of George W Bush type US adventures into other lands have stopped because no-one has a taste for them any longer (fortunately) but the world still needs every democracy to step up and support every other nation and people's sovereignty. This chip-on-his-shoulder dufus is trying to lower the cost for the US to actually turn up and be helpful. We can't afford what the other contractors are building in terms of price tag and time to delivery. And we can't ask Putin nicely to hand over the 20,000 officially recognized kidnapped children and the many tens of thousands more who haven't been officially tagged. Nor help the 4 million people caught and forgotten in the occupied territories. Every recovered town showed mass killings. What are we doing about it? We are keeping the story suppressed so we don't have to mess with Russia because we're not ready to deal with that. Facts! But you go on complaining about the embodied CO2 in a plastic straw.
Congratulations this is one of the most dystopian promotional films masquerading as journalism I've come across. It's like a featurette length advertisement from Verhoeven's Starship Troopers. The human cost of America's adolescent, jingoistic attitude to international relations is incalculable. The assumption that a technology is only bad 'when used against American citizens' is literal tribalism. Of course all such technologies are and will be (Google Clearview AI) misused domestically. However they're development is literally to ensure America's continued use of force to advance economic supremacy. Not even a question for this intrepid reporter. Nauseating, insipid war propaganda.
You might not like it that the jungle is real, but the jungle is real. America needs weapons and why should we waste money getting the best? Anduril is doing us all an amazing service
Everytime I start writing a response to this I end up rambling. I don’t want to do that this time, so I think the only issue I have with this comment is calling everything propaganda (even if it is) kind of dilutes the meaning of propaganda. I’d prefer to call this a “puff piece”. Not to say it doesn’t have the issues that you raised but I feel like propaganda would imply Bloomberg was paid for this piece when they certainly weren’t, other than the views it generates. But I also get propaganda is diverse. It doesn’t even have to be a bad thing even though it is almost always negative (if you worked for a publicly funded or state owned broadcaster and did hard hitting investigative journalism but it was primarily on issues that the government’s leading party wanted to combat or to promote “western” ideology, that would be propaganda even if it was very far removed. Like DW) Anyway, comment is still longer than I’d like because I want to reiterate that I don’t really disagree with you, just life is full of nuance.
What the US needs to win over China is a "Naval Aviation made huge battleships obsolete" moment just like how carriers made the Yamato obsolete before she was even launched. You can imagine how this is deeply unpopular considering the carriers and advantages the USN has right now. But we need to invent and build things that make even our own biggest strengths obsolete!
I like this dude! He could have just sat back and enjoyed his mountain of money after his Oculus Quest sale. But he's actually a patriot and cares about western civilization.
+Just seven years ago, people would have slammed this made man for having a presented collection of figurines and a DnD table. This was once strongly associated with the Boogie2988 character that represented the typical basement dweller. He is I fear leveraging that contrast in addition to appealing to certain demographics. A very populist move.
For sure the Ukraine war has highlighted the need for innovation. Drones are critical to winning a war now. Drones and systems that can interfere with opposing drones' communication. Great piece on this topic. Thanks! And thank you America for standing up for democracy and freedom.
