| Why are so many entities dealing with Palantir? They are a poison pill for customers. |

| Palantir is a glorified IT consulting company. You tell them "I want a system to manage patient records" and they will dispatch a team of engineers fresh out of college to build it for you while charging top dollar. They are able to get government & military contracts because of lobbying and influence, but generally everything you see about them online is marketing. |

| ▲ | puppymaster an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I always tell people this - that Palantir is just IBM. Instant hate feedbacks from both left and right. Left: They kill babies and have your poop data. Right: They are so much more than that. That have super intelligence AI with drone puppetry. Have you seen the leaked dashboards! | |

| They don't have in-house talent to implement what they want. The same reasons they used to hire Deloitte/EY/KPMG/PwC. Palantir is one rung up from those places when it comes to talent/ability to deliver. |

| Which customers? Outside of the HN bubble, very few consumers know or care which entities are using Palantir. |
