There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

From what I understand : Palantir is doing everything what Facebook does but the end game is not the same. Facebook want to sell your metadata to publicist to sell you a dream that you will buy. Palantir, however, is doing this and selling it to fascist governments and buying lobbyists to push fascist legislation
They had CIA funding before, and they helped Israel plan their attacks in the Gaza zone, so they actively partake in stripping data from any source to help governments be horrible
Bold of you to assume that Facebook is not selling your data to Palantir to be recombined and re-sold...
What they mean is that Facebook is on the supply side of data and Palantir is on the demand side.
Tons of companies are selling all of your data, Palantir is buying all of the data and selling integrated surveillance of your activities to anyone who can operate a wire transfer.
It’s effectively bold
Do you think Pal knew Peter Thiel was ~~playing for the same team~~ gay before the public did?
I dont understand your question. Thiel build palantir with people from google and OpenAI, they clearly know what they’re doing. Maybe they lied themselves in thinking they’re selling security but they’re not really auto reflexive
I mean did Palantir gather that Thiel was gay before the public knew. Its quite the smackaroonie
Probably, he found the thing why would he hide it ?
