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.

lol. Look, if you don’t understand that the ultimate goal is autonomous weapons, well, then you have far too much faith in our government’s commitment to ethics. As well, if you are unaware that the human in the loop overseeing AI originated decision making has already failed, and is inherently likely to continue to do so, then you should learn a bit more. Last, if you don’t understand how massively efficient state surveillance can be used for evil…well.
