All that's happening with or without Palantir. We have Big Data, we have data scientists, we have ML/AI....it's going to be used for all of these goals no matter what. The genie is out of the bottle.
Blaming Palantir here is a bit like blaming Colt or Smith & Wesson. They're just one of many companies that are providing, or could be providing, or with they were providing, these same services.
And the services themselves, and the science behind them aren't inherently evil. It's not like the math behind their models is special "let's oppress society" math.
Blaming Palantir for the things the government is doing is as effective as blaming Boeing or Google - whose services are also used by the US Government for various (nefarious) purposes.
- javert 6y agoI believe Palantir exists specifically to serve the intelligence apparatus. Do you have information showing otherwise?
