"Palantir's AI" is Anthropic Claude.

Depends on specific cases, I have on good authority of how in few "bleeding edge" ones they essentially repacked/wrapped YOLOv3. Purpose was specifically tracking in adversarial conditions (smoke, including smokescreen, obstacles, etc)

Why YOLOv3 and not something more recent? Like YOLO26 or something

> So edgy; is being an apologist really the noble calling you think it is? Is it your noble calling? From the Temporary Constitution of the State of Palestine (2026)[1]: Article 4 – Islam, Sharia and Christianity 1. Islam is the official religion in the State of Palestine. 2. The principles of Islamic Sharia are a primary source for legislation. Not sure how anyone can possibly defend a literal religious autocracy, e…

Isn't Israel a Jewish state with Jewish law? If you hated theocratic countries, you'd hate both. Palestine doesn't have a government, anyway. Israel destroyed it. Its former temporary constitution is completely irrelevant.

Not Jewish law. Mix of Common Law with with some leftovers of Ottoman law

Government that doesn't exist in your opinion, is sitting in UN as observer state and just opened an embassy in London https://news.sky.com/story/palestinian-embassy-in-london-ope...

And "Former temporary constitution" was actually published last week. It's date on the first page

My original reply was flagged, and while you may think it's bullshit, I hope you don't think it should be censored.

why draw the line on palantir? why not involve microsoft amd intel who provides their computers, or car manufacturers that provides their vehicles? been seeing lots of these attacks on defense companies without providing a better alternative and a concrete plan they can execute

As an American this is the first post I have ever feared replying to because the company discussed is both powerful in government and does active online monitoring and reporting to the government and could impact me forever. So that might in itself include an answer. I wanted to post and highlight direct quotes from this company's leadership but honestly think there is a risk of personal blowback in some way.

For realtime on the edge the YOLO series is pretty good, I don't think anyone would disagree. Most of the really advanced stuff like Vision Language models all require a lot more compute and power budget.

A bunch of what they were contracted for very much required realtime tracking at the edge

Yes the author of the Yolo series even wrote a blog post about it.

I only have the reflection from "client side" saying that all the military contractors rolled in with essentially YOLOv3 wrapped in custom software

The only situation in which 2A will stop mattering is if the government decides it is willing to level American cities to achieve its future goals. You cannot kick down doors with AI. You cannot infiltrate meetings with AI (well, at least not if the meeting holders have good opsec). AI is great if you want to identify targets, but it does not move the needle very much on an occupation. If you want to preserve the are…

There haven't been may israeli lives lost besides those in october 7th. The blood used to pay has only been Palestine.

There have been plenty of lives lost on both sides for almost a century now. It's deranged to think that one side should get to carry on as usual while the other one has to give in.

There was a good chance for peace in the 90s. Why don't you look up who walked away from the deal and why?
