Palantir CEO: Only Two Kinds of People Succeed in AI Era

"There are basically two ways to know you have a future. One, you have some vocational training.

Alex explains the disruption around AI and workforces will largely affect white-collar work, referring to executive, managerial and administrative-type roles.

Gotta prime that pump for the IPO. $60 billion valuation? Have to hype an extra zero onto that.
