    If it’s anything like ChatGPT, it’ll probably try to gaslight itself into thinking something that never existed, exists and can do the exact thing you’re trying to do!

    Didn’t they specifically say they would not work with the military?

        It’s a little bit of a weird setup. There is a nonprofit portion and a for profit portion. If i recall correctly, the nonprofit owns the majority of the for profit portion. The nonprofit board is able to replace executives without having to worry about how it affects profits.

        But they are trying to change that nonprofit board to for profit.

        I wonder why a ceo was recently gunned down. They all seem to have fantastic moral character. Why someone would do such a thing escapes me. /s

        Yeah a hard choice, between a yacht or a private airplane vs morality. In short Tangible vs the intangible.

    What is it with tech bros/awful businesses bastardising Tolkien’s creations? Palantir, Anduril…

      Palantir was just too on the nose, they’re basically saying “we’re evil, this is evil”, which is super creepy in a “what the hell is wrong with you” kind of way.

      Anduril means “Flame of the West”. So for a California based weapons manufacturer, it’s kinda perfect.

      I’m not saying these are good people or anything, just that of all the tolkien-named business, Anduril is probably the best named one.

      Anduril is Palmers Luckey “smart” missle/border tower company. Palmers Luckey, the alt right billionaire that sold Oculus to Facebook, whose sister is married to child rapist and former attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz. He has deep ties to alt right billionaire Peter theil, the facebook/paypal billionare, that owns the data harvesting/ai company Palentir that Israel uses to target “enemy combatants”.

      Theil is an outspoken monarcist who literally believes in an american king and that women should not be allowed to vote. He was the primary donor to Vance senate campaign, and a large reason he was the VP pick.

      Yes, deeply fucked.

        thiel also has (of course) ties to cambridge analytica and its role in brexit and first trump presidency. It’s fuckers all the way.

    Maybe they can use this to detect where all the funding is going. Maybe find that “missing” trillion dollars? No? Then we don’t really need it.
