#2Interesting. When reading dystopian SciFi books, about a future where big corporations are above state governments and dominate the world I couldn't quite believe it. But such future becomes a lot more believable now.

#3They’re trying to rush this integration as widely to make Palantir too critical to walk away for when the administrations change.

> I couldn't quite believe it
Not sure how that was ever unbelievable to you. Governments are and have always been relics of the past. Systems that we all tolerate because removing them would be too big a hassle for most people who are simply content enough with things the way they are—and without the people these systems continue to endure.
It has always been a matter of time before a system more all-encompassing encompassed governments as well. Naive to think otherwise.

It's frustrating as hell to hear this from people. I still get that glimmer of hope that people are coming around when they say it, then they just double-down on dismissing it as an overreaction.

#6I'm curious as to how Palantir has been used during the war or Iran (if at all or does it suffer from subjective bias). I know there were larger movements at play on a political level here but I'm becoming concerned about how much one "thought group" (in private corps) is having on the world's largest war machine. might be dulling critical thinking.

#7It's software that lets you move people from a video feed, to a kanban "target" board, to a grave.
Is this what we wanted from our tech careers? I'm just old enough to remember when we thought tech would help people; not just help kill them.

You must be trolling. Did you read the article?

The term "Merchants of Death" comes to mind. Easy kills, done dirt cheap, appeals to state level despots.

#10> During the first 24 hours of the war, the US military struck more than 1,000 targets in Iran with the help of AI, as the Palantir software recommended 42 targets per hour.
Impressive, although this could lead to collateral damage. I hope Maven won't turn against its creators someday.
