> The article reveals depressing reasons why someone might choose to work for the lines of Palantir: lots of talented people working on hard problems. That's pretty much it. No problem with the business model, just intellectual hunger.

That seems like a very uncharitable take. For instance, don't you think the section on morality[1] addresses this head on?

This section is definitely interesting to read but also leaves me a bit hungry for the supposed intellectual "intensity" earlier paragraphs promised about the company and its (ex) employees. The model proposed for thinking about the morality here is incredibly limited.
