It feels like someone copied this company verbatim out of a cyberpunk world and pasted it in our world. Everything is cyberpunk, down to the name, logo, design

It feels like someone copied this company verbatim out of a cyberpunk world and pasted it in our world. Everything is cyberpunk, down to the name, logo, design style and products. Unbelievably cool, but it also terrifies me.

Anduril just like Palantir is from the Lord of the Rings and not Neuromancer

  And it’s literally the same people that left Palantir to form Andruil It’s wild reading this thread where everyone is literally gung-Ho over Andruil yet the sentiment in any post about Palantir is the exact opposite. Same folks, everyone. They’re just doing hardware now.

    Personally, as someone who likes Anduril and isn't much a fan of Palantir, I never had issue with the people. I had issue with what they were doing. If Anduril was selling primarily to law enforcement/border control/spying like Palantir does then I'd like them less. Also the imagery even in the name is indicative. Anduril is a sword. Palantir is an all-seeing oracle of knowledge. The latter is a lot more dangerous for domestic politics than the former. There's a lot of people who support the US military but don't support the likes of the CIA or the NSA.

It's a weird vibe to see a defense product like this marketed like a consumer product

  It's meant to attract talent and investors.

Aesthetics turns out to be pretty powerful even for things like war. This must really attract gamer engineers. There was once certain army that used clothes by Hugo Boss that also looked super cool and i am sure many people loved how they looked in them.

    Isn't this a bit different? Like anyone can get whatever brand. But its very different when company willingly creates and produces designs for skull army.

      Yes, it is different. My comment was made rather tongue in cheek.
