Scorpitron is reduced to a thin red paste: Man, Peter Thiel has this guy running around like a jackass.

Palantir just wants the data. They're three years beyond what OpenAI is doing right now.
Their main purpose is to provide law enforcement and defense intelligence with assessments of possible threats.
Consider what they could do by profiling individuals with just their raw posts, likes, and retweets from twitter. The vitriol on that site is disgusting.

...
Just as a thought experiment.
Consider what Palantir will do with the Fark database? Drew doesn't even need to sell it. Every comment thread is easily found via google.
They can profile every username based on their commenting habits. Funnys, smarts, whether they engage with war or law enforcement threads. Etc etc.
Palantir will take that information, and correlate it with IP addresses, then assess other social media accounts to connect the individual to multiple accounts. Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, you name it.
Won't matter if folks use multiple email accounts.

This is what Palantir is designed to do.
To identify and assess threats. And while the vast majority of us aren't a threat. ALL of us will be caught up in the data harvest, and we are being profiled.
