"Karp said enterprises need to protect their data or risk losing their business to model makers.
Karp said Chinese models can’t be blamed for distilling U.S. models when the frontier labs “distilled all the value of IP, everywhere.”
I think all of us would echo that.

While the argument makes sense, the motivation is rather self-serving: he is afraid frontier models will steal his forward deployed engineering/consultancy model.
Palantir is stealing business from consultancy firms, now frontier models are going to do the same to them. He has to convince executives (main purchase decision makers) by what he does best: politics.

Not relevant. The idea is more important than the messenger. Generally, people will do better if they don't shoot the messenger and instead engage with the idea. Ideas have people.

The first thought of everyone here except you is "what is Karp's angle?"
He's not saying this stuff in good faith. Maybe he thinks his AI suppliers are looking to compete with his products. They certainly are exploring the idea of "forward deployed engineers" a revolting term Karp popularized.
You might choose to take him at face value but I'm going to continue to count the silverware after he visits.

If the devil says 2+2 equals 4 we can all agree he's right.

What makes it interesting is that he’s the only reasonably well known tech CEO who is saying this…
