Palantir lost half a billion dollars last year & are notorious for overpromising to clients but ultimately under-delivering.

I'd say they're still a Silicon Valley company at heart.

One way or another all of us are going to fund Palantir, most probably through our Police department budgets.

Silicon Valley is big because of products, not high-end consulting.

You mean services, right? Products have been out of fashion in SV for quite a while now.

They’re a consulting company, not a tech company.

Used to work there now work at McKinsey. “Tech McKinsey” is apt. Just a lot more tshirts and LotR references.
