| No it’s not. It’s totally conceivable that the (perceived) quality of targeting data would contribute to the decision of whether to run a mission at all, and if so how extensively. |

| ▲ | whimsicalism an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | isn’t that essentially true of any technology that reduces the civilian casualties of a conflict? | | |
| ▲ | dwb 9 minutes ago | parent [-] | | The companies involved definitely want you to think that part of their noble goal is reducing civilian casualties. As far as I can see, though, that is pure propaganda. | | |

| ▲ | mexicocitinluez an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Absolutely. And that the people who stand to benefit the most from another war might want to filter/target that data in a way to make that more probable? I mean, I know it's a stretch. Especially with how benevolent our current class of billionaires are. But just imagine a guy who thinks money is more important than anything else. I know... another stretch. lol. |

| > > Palantir do not control that part of decision making (you as a voter do! You did vote right?) You're not actually suggesting that the company providing the data isn't at all part of that process, are you? Can you, for a second, imagine a company collecting/forwarding only data that's beneficial to it's core objective? Especially one whose led by a guy who has quite literally benefits off of a war???? |

| Oh sorry I mean Yes, citizen-friend! I have upheld the Prime Directive and participated in our routine civic sports. Next month I will initiate the annual tributary credit transfer so that the oracle may see more clearly. |
