Palantir is an AI firm now? Thought it was a data collection/spyware firm.
- WatchDog 7mo agoI like to think of Palantir as JIRA or salesforce for killing people.
- easterncalculus 7mo agospyware Why is Palantir a spyware company, but Snowflake or Databricks are not? "Spyware" has an actual definition, and there are real companies that sell it, like Pegasus. It's not some catch-all term for what people call "evil".
- natebc 7mo agoIf they're not a spyware company then they really super duper picked the wrong name. Maybe they were just going for evil, in which case ... well I'm glad NYC hospitals have dropped them and I hope many, many more companies and organizations choose the same path.
- nottorp 7mo agoThe point is why are they suddenly an "AI" firm, not to debate the fine meanings of spyware. Are the other spyware companies that you mention in your post also rebranding as "AI" firms?
- tbrownaw 7mo ago> Palantir is an AI firm now? Of course. Everyone is an AI firm now.
- max_ 7mo agoAll AI companies are spyware companies.
