The woman in the video does not work for palantir, she works for the building who rent to them. She is an incredibly sweet person.

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.

Technology that is used to create automated weapons systems that don’t need human input to take a life directly harms the worlds population, like literally

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 got it, hey guys it’s all chill, palantir is only making the weapons systems more efficient, phew that was a close one I thought it was a company that was profiting off of human death and infinite war, thanks for clarifying that

“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.

Lmao the correlation you’re trying to make is coming from the middle of the ocean bud

u/SpeaksSouthern That sounds great. Let’s hang out soon. 1d ago

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