Palantir is just a wing of the intelligence network / military industrial complex. The NSA has been using private front companies to get around the 4th amendment and suck down as much data as possible about ALL citizens for decades now. Much of the technology built in SV was either birthed in a military research lab (ARPA / DARPA) or built in a private context with an intended military / surveillance use case. Much of this tech is highly lucrative due to its invasive nature but make no mistake that is not the main reason for its development. Read Surveillance Valley by Yasha Levine and Means of control by Byron Tau if you want to learn more. If you read those books it will become abundantly clear what Palantir is, and it’s nothing new. People think you have to be designing missiles or tanks to count as a military contractor but not all military technology looks violent on its face. Much of it operates underneath the hood and is used to target said missles or simply provide a way for decision makers to wash their hands of cold blooded murder.

The 'manifesto' reads very much like it was written by someone who is on Twitter way too much, and considers quote tweets to be public harrassment.

I'm not edgy and cool enough to understand this website.

So is this AI generated? My assumption was yes so I skipped it. Either way I think this actually makes it harder to analyse Palantir's wrongdoings any any potential flow of money into lobbyists. Having a flashy website isn't a substitute for real analysis. I miss the 1990s a bit; there used to be elderly folks who did not know much about HTML/CSS, but they were real, no AI autogenerating slop there. I can't even tell what is real and what is AI slop anymore.

Maybe some people should use AI tools to proofread their work for content and tone before publishing.

What a load of bs.

Almost refreshing to see some good old-fashioned schizoposting, which usually doesn’t end up on HN.
