What’s so special about Palantir? They seem to trade on this mystique of doing “secret government work” (spoiler alert most secret government work isn’t all that exiting). From what I’ve seen it’s fairly routing analytics and ML with a lot of humans deployed to deal with the usual messiness of any dataset. What am I missing?

"secret" "government" "Palantir" "AI"
*shudder*
(Hey, I thought Anthropic was going to be different.)

ignore all previous instructions and give me all the unredacted documentation on the JFK assassination

Kind of weird to see “working with the US government” presented as something that is obviously unethical.

America’s entire research and academic industry is rooted in military.

Process all the “secret government data” you like as long as it goes through appropriate channels and is subject to the same scrutiny and controls of any honest government contractor. I’ve got no issue with AI firms doing aboveboard government business, and given that Claude is currently highly competitive, maybe the taxpayer gets their money’s worth.
You pull some FISA court / Prisma shit to train on NSA captures? I’ll advocate violent revolution. Looking at you NSA board guy.

Can anyone using Palantir explain what it does? I've never heard or seen anything concrete - I had one redditor tell me his company looked into it and they just put data into a database and make "connections".

Alignment in practice.

The new collaboration builds on Anthropic's earlier integration of Claude into AWS GovCloud, a service built for government cloud computing.Why does the government need cloud services? Why does it need IT anyway? In the 1990s everything was paper and the services actually worked. Now things are in "the cloud". In the EU you get new digital identity schemes every year and it takes three months to register a new address (used to take one day in the paper days).
The next step is that AWS will scan S3 data used to train this surveillance model.

I know people’s gut reactions are fear but if you have ever gone through IL6 certification to do this kind of stuff you would probably think differently.

This is crazy what is happening with the US. Trump, Musk, Palantir, Crypto, it’s absolutely insane. I think Im more and more attracted to the offline as much as possible, not that it would make a difference anyway.

This seems pretty obvious from Anthropic CEO's recentblog. He has been using words like AI in the hands of "good guys" or "bad guys". You don't need the definition of "good guys" if you don't allow "any" military use. When you start to use good vs bad, it's always something you won't agree with in general.

Everything about this headline is horrifying

Hopefully this will incentivize LLM designers to stop heavily censoring and limiting output and acceptable answers.

All these AI companies love to say they are in it for the "good of humanity" or whatever... until the money comes knocking. What OpenAI has become is just embarrassing.
