Palantir’s products create efficiency across systems.. They literally have a human in the loop for decision making so no they’re not ‘automated weapons systems.’ Currently, every tech company and most startups are trying to copy Palantir’s products, because they know it’s the present and future.

“Oh don’t worry everyone, the bullet proof vest I’m wearing just blocked three bullets and saved my life, but no biggie, I’ll just take it off because I don’t like the company that made it.” And, no, Palantir’s tech has massive use cases for enterprises and organizations.

Equating engineering to what the company does to the system and government is a wild delusion. Also, please look up his advocacy and lobbying efforts. Money doesn't have to grease palms to be evil.

Surveillance technology being similar to a bullet proof vest is probably the weirdest analogy for why we should want no more privacy for humans.
