Just occured to me that functionally that seems to be their role. Conspiratorially, super troubling. Viewed this way, it’s essentially the NSA without political oversight (what little the NSA had to begin with).

It would be more accurate to say that Palantir functionally runs the intelligence agencies of every country it embeds itself in.
Just not ‘officially’.
Welcome to the cyberpunk dystopia, corporations run everything, nation-states are basically just bureaucracies and propoganda devices, with guns.
Of course we’ve had PMCs for quite a while now, so corpos have the guns too.
Far more than just intelligence agencies, that was one part of their original plan and it has expanded exponentially. Look at how the US just gave them control of the entire food supply.
And Law Enforcement / Police… yep.
Their business model is ‘be Skynet’.
… and it is working.
Skynet launched already, there just was no countdown.
I think I missed the food part. Can you elaborate or share a link about it?
