My understanding is that some of the people that work at Palantir have security clearances and work on classified work. Do you know what those people worked on? I've read a lot of things in the past that strongly suggest Palantir helps configure there systems for specific use cases, including the "killing people" ones mentioned in the article - is this erroneous? Is there no customer-specific configuration and assistance and help with whatever goals the customer has in mind?

Good news/bad news.
Good news is that I was one of those people that had a clearance, so can confirm that those individuals exist at least.
Bad news is because I had a clearance, I can’t say anything more than that. Way too much liability to even speak vaguely about it, even tho I no longer have it. The US government doesn’t play around with that type of stuff.
