The title, as submitted, is pretty low key.

The actual headline of the article is "Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power" and this is the lead sentence:

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

> "...increasing the power of working-class men."

Who vote Republican.

You know, class warfare.

Nothing to see here, move along

So is he saying that AI will essentially knee-cap the middle class to the benefit of the working class… how?

I'm not following.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,”

It's crab bucket politics. 'This technology will pull down those smug liberal women to your level'.
