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.

They don't need marketing. It's very well known what they do and for whom they work.

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!
