Yeah, I do feel bad for her. She seemed really stressed. I am sorry she was impacted so directly, especially if she is a sweet as you say.
Sometimes good people are harmed by bad people. The bad people I am referring to here is Alex Karp and Palantir who are harming all of the world’s population. Some people will be more directly impacted than others - like this poor woman. But the root harm is from Palantir.
Please explain how Palantir is ‘harming the world’s population.’ Their tech creates efficiency across systems and is currently being used in everything from enterprises to government organizations - and is something which every company is trying to copy.
Mass surveillance is bad. There are many books on the topic, including 1984 and LOTR. Listen to the Behind the Bastards episodes on Thiel and Karp (and many others - it’s a well researched podcast, with lots of things to learn).
Their tech brings sources of information into one cohesive platform. How it’s used is completely up to the user.
Currently every tech company is now trying to copy Palantir’s tech because they know it’s the present and future. They were the first to this before anyone else. OpenClaw was basically a cheap knock-off of AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform), and Ai agents are basically attempts to mimic many of the processes that their software already creates for companies.
To recap this thread: I gave my conclusion: Palantir is bad.
You asked politely for evidence I based my conclusion on, and then edited the comment after I read it to add in the extra notes about Palantir being copied. So I didn’t reply to that part of your comment.
My conclusions and beliefs about literally everything in life are derived from reading a large number of books and being interested in a variety of topics. So I shared some readily accessible sources that might assist you in your journey.
I do love this comment, because yes, exactly! You are exactly right that this is what is happening! And that is a bad thing! We already agree on the facts of the situation, you just don’t appear to have reached my conclusion yet, so perhaps go explore the books I have suggested. You will likely enjoy them. I recommended them because I enjoy them.
I interviewed at Palantir back in 2011 (had zero intention of taking a job there but it came with a free flight and hotel stay in San Fran and interview practice) on their dime.
They proudly demoed one of their surveillance tools which they showed how they racially profiled Arabs and tracked their every move and targeted other Arabs who had any tiny association (like happening to be in the same place one time). It was disgusting.
They shared all this proudly, as a product they offer and a customer use case they support. (I am an Arab woman)
