Ex-Palantir Analyst On The Inner Workings Of Intelligence & Markets In A World Of Socialism

This week, Avi sits down with Alexander Good, founder of Post Fiat, former Palantir and essayist, for one of the most wide-ranging conversations we've had. We discuss how he built a trading edge by reading stocks through advertising data, the EA vs Booking pair trade, the "goldfish theory" of why attention is more predictable than the future, where the model breaks (and why it's happening to Michael Saylor right now), why he's bearish on Palantir as ontologies become less necessary, why AI won't make people useless but will take their jobs, his call that unemployment starts kicking in within three months, the Nintendo trade and the coming AI-and-IP goldmine, and his big thesis: that AI gets regulated and sequestered like nuclear tech in 1945, ending in a sovereign margin call rather than a productivity utopia.
