No one can explain what it is. They have some bullshit “ontology” thing they talk up on every investor call and bots spam about it on twitter and reddit. I think they are basically a software consultancy firm that the government can outsource all evil deeds to. Like warrantless surveillance
- fatherwavelet 9mo agoTheir "ontology" is not bullshit but they speak about it in a bullshit way. I think they refer to it like a product or something they invented as a form of marketing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science) If you just google ontology you probably end up reading some Heidegger and conclude how deep these guys must be. Whenever I hear Karp say it I always think of it like he is saying "Database" or "The Database". "What makes Palantir different is Database". I think so much of Palantir is performative and for sales performances.

- deaux 9mo agoYou didn't talk about having used it? Talking to my mom about her knitting club and then presenting myself as having a "lived experience" in knitting would be pretty funny.
- caminante 9mo ago> in knitting. Notice how you got vague here? Is it "lived experience" performing knitting, talking to your mom about knitting, asking how your mom's knitting is different than other knitting and she...struggles? If you don't see the issue, then you weren't following the thread.
