Disagree with his take, especially if he thinks that this productization is something recent. What we are seeing is merely a result of "standardization of thought" that began in the 1920s with the SAT, solidified with post WW2 and Great Society ideals. This is merely a culmination of that in its more extreme and final form. 

The standardization or "productization" as Karp calls it was a product of the last regime of industrialists in producing a society fit for the industrial and service economy America was becoming. The consequences are as we see it. 

We now need a new reshaping of society for the age of AI and this is just rhetoric to justify said shift. 

Ordered the book though 😂. Big believer in the Palantir model and how they think about problems, so respect the man.

I am not sure that he does think it's more recent. If this turns into being a book to justify the permanent immiseration of 90% of people (what I believe the end game is for our current technocrats and how they envision AI shaping society) I will be so mad

I hope not. He seems to be a bit more pragmatic usually with these things so would think less so 🤞
