i think the military has been using thiels palintir for at least 10 years already. TRump just made it more obvious, because hes a loudmouth. thiel loved to stay out of the spotlight of the news for many reasons. everytime he was in the news, its never is good for him.

Not just the military. I found out Palantir had a contract with my own city to develop and test their predictive policing technology until 2018. theverge.com/…/palantir-predictive-policing-tool-…
The city banned predictive policing and facial recognition tech, then quietly lifted the ban and replaced it with a very concerning ordinance in 2022. thelensnola.org/…/mayor-cantrell-moves-to-reverse…
Then it came out that the city wasn’t even following the rules they had created in the sketchy ordinance. washingtonpost.com/…/live-facial-recognition-poli…
The private surveillance company using the facial recognition tech (which was created during the time Palantir was still under contract with the city, but is allegedly totally unrelated to Palantir 🙄) couldn’t keep providing the real time facial recognition tracking to city police bc WaPo exposed they were violating the ordinance. However, since it’s only a city ordinance and they’re a private company, they can still provide it to literally anyone else in the city (state police, federal agents, ICE, military).
They’ve already been doing a lot of shady shit to American citizens, and it’s naive to just trust that they won’t eventually start using these kinds of AI drone weapons on American soil.

red light cameras already using facial recognition, to catch would be “runners of red light”, LEO was already using PAlintr PRIOR TO trump announcing “all agencies must use palintir, to target democrats”

Who’s Palantir? I sort if live under a rock. Yes I looked it up. I’m asking for the general scoop.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Palantir, as you know is the all seeing stone in LOTR, THiel is obsessed with LOTR for the wrong reasons, he named several companies after lotr themes: MITHIRL, andurl, lembas,etc. Peter thiel is the funds behind AI tech that palantir uses, which is used by the military and now by Some LEO.

Except we’re the purse, so if we truly oppose it, we can easily make it stop.

Stopping the money and supply of arms sure might help.

Makes much more sense to stand up against Palantir!
