Not sure why you're being downvoted. All your comments have been very well and politely argued (whether people agree with them or not) and this is the first time I got a pick at what palantir is actually doing. Thanks for the info.

Meh, it’s fine, downvotes don’t bother me. Especially when you take the position that goes against common opinion, it’s to be expected.
The irony to me is that when I was at Palantir they talked extremely openly about all their technology. A ton of it was open sourced, and in depth tech talks were posted to YouTube, but almost no one watched them.
I think people just like writing them off as shady or sketchy because it’s easier than needing to reason about the clear ethical nuance that exists in the government contractor space.
