- @AltarsStudio is building the first intelligence system for cultural industries that triangulates real human networks, open signals, and proprietary cultural graphs into a live, always-on intelligence layer. Our system Odysseus maps narrative risks, cultural trends, and it scores heritage moats the way Palantir scored insurgent networks. It tells a PE fund in 48 hours whether the 200yo brand they are about to buy will be worth 3x more or 40% less in the next acquisition cycle because of cultural dynamics no algorithm has ever been trained to see. We deploy forward intelligence infrastructure the same way Palantir deploys in defense: we own the integration, we own the change management, we train the model on each client's proprietary reality. Every engagement makes the system smarter for the entire vertical.

Frontier LLMs are becoming God-tier powerful, but it’s very hard to effectively implement them in heritage sectors like luxury, family offices and cultural institutions. Altars is doing exactly this.

If you read this and don’t understand why it’s happening it’s an opportunity to reset your understanding of how the real world works.
The real world will need a ton of help actually getting agents going in the enterprise. Companies have legacy tech stacks they need to modernize, data in tons of fragmented tools, knowledge that isn’t captured or digitized, and change management needed to actually utilize agents effectively. And they have to do all this while still running their business day-to-day, unlike startups.
This is why there is so much opportunity for companies (software or services) to actually deploy agents in specific domains and workflows. This remains a big opportunity for both existing services providers but also tons of new startups as well. Every new technology wave produces a new era of consulting firms that can deliver on that technology.
It’s also why the FDE model is going to be alive and well for a long time because companies will want to have their vendor actually help drive the change management and implementation for their new workflows.
The people aren’t going away. Far from it.

@bronzeagemantis @ErrolTostigson No no, Europe is very bad. American slop tourists should never come here. Very dangerous.

@stefan_mnl Your land is your soul. My family has been Italian since time immemorial on both sides, but my ancestry is from all four corners of Italy and even I feel like I have no true connection to one place.

Connecting to nature and your land is like connecting to your heritage

@RoguesPhilo Maybe the solution to male loneliness is an app that organizes war bands and adventures.

Organize your folk into a nomadic war band.
Accept the call to adventure and go horseback riding in Central Asia.
Unlock ansestral blood memories.
Conquer everything that exists.
You can just do things.

What is lost in the era of mass migration invasion is a sense of belonging. Back in the day, you went outside and saw people that looked like you, acted like you - because genetically they WERE you. Loneliness skyrockets when you only see Star Wars people around.

@TheGloriousLion It's a beautiful symmetry that the West may be ended by a clownish mockery of Alexander the Great, who started it.

@h_terno @CaribbeanRythms That's why I said systems. They don't vary that wildly.
English
@TheBuriedPrince @CaribbeanRythms There is no European education system. There are several national systems that vary wildly.

I went to a French school for most of my life and it’s very similar to the Italian system, albeit worse.
From the ages of 12 you would get to school at 7:45 in the morning and finish at 5 in the afternoon, a full adult work day. Every teacher would bombard you with homework that would take at least two hours to finish and if you didn’t finish it you were given detention on the days you finished at 1 or 3 in the afternoon, ruining any free time you might have had on the days your finished early. This goes on until you graduate.
I had undiagnosed ADHD at the time and was a slow learner and the French are not opposed to holding you back a year or even two or three if they feel like your grades aren’t up to scratch. I was typically considered one of those “lazy kids with unfulfilled potential types” but all I really wanted to do was do things I liked not have to open a book after going through a 40 hour work week. They also had no qualms putting the most heinous descriptions of your academic performance on reports cards so your parents could whoop your ass to submission lmao.
On one hand you really do become a well rounded and educated individual but it comes at the cost of having all ambition sucked dry out of you. I absolutely hated it and for a long time it threw me off ever wanting to study again for a while.

I know a number of British people who lived 1 to 2 years in Italy and then came back. The constant is that they have young children. Whatever they tell you, if you ask them about the Italian school system, they will eventually admit that it was, if not the main one, one of the critical items for them. Italian primary school is much harder than the British one. An awful lot of Italian parents cope with that by literally abandoning their children to their own devices. Most take a more proactive stance, so they either start tutoring their children themselves (a couple of hours a day per child starting in year 1) or pay for tutors to do it in their stead. In primary school, British kids have homework once per week. Italian kids have homework once per day, doubled over the weekend. If you visit Italian homes in the afternoon and they have children, it is pretty standard to see the kids sitting at the main table with books and notebooks spread all around, with a parent or a tutor sitting with them for the whole session. Also, the amount of books they have to carry to school every day is borderline unbelievable. You would think they are training them to carry legionary backpacks. For people accustomed to the gentle British primary schooling, the Italian system feels borderline insane. Note also that it has massively eased up: in my childhood, we had to memorise a long poem every weekend (which back then meant Sunday, as Saturday was school day). h/t @GroovySciFi

@CaribbeanRythms If you're smart enough you can afford to do the bare minimum to survive. But everyone else gets either rolled into the system or left behind, so they end up in an even worse situation.
English
@TheBuriedPrince I just refused to do any homework and would often skip classes I didn’t like or care about. Maintained some sanity because of it. I wasn’t disruptive which was why most teachers didnt outright hate me but their disappointment in me didn’t matter much so I lived with it

Dude with low IQ, listen carefully:
If the USA don't get involved, first with your banks then with your military, Germany rightfully wins WW1 and creates an economic, scientific, cultural and social European superstate based on scientific progress, social traditional values, meritocracy and discipline, plus acts as fair partner, broker and diplomat in the rest of world. Our elites were driven primarily by honor and decorum and the notion of greater societal good, and not mercantile greed like the British in the past and the US afterwards.
So please stop your narcissistic, whiny gaslighting and crying. Europe isn't one single entity and there is ZERO REASON why any German or Austrian patriot should ultimately ever be grateful to the US. For what? For destroying 1,500 years of tradition and continuity?
GTFO
MJ@Real_Politik101
Europeans always hated America. Before 1945, they always looked down on the U.S. After they blew themselves up like idiots with WW1 +2, they’ve been envious cuz some random former British colony surpassed the entire continent. They’re engaging in some insane gaslighting pretending they never had contempt for us.

Not sharing Palantir's manifesto - and that is what it is. A private company calling for a new world order, one that seeks to oppress all of humanity and suggest they should have total power.
Palantir should be treated as an enemy of humanity. Sci-fi movie apocalyptic villains.

Palantirs rise to power will be one to watch. Also the influence of technocrat moral legalism.
These ppl believe that what works in Palo Alto should govern Cairo. This is not idealism. It is a form of imperialism that does not know itself.
Palantir@PalantirTech
Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
