On paper all of this stuff is a great idea that would make our appliances more functional.
In reality, this is sold to our corporate overlords so they can slap an ad on your refrigerator and sell you more plastic waste.

Every single government that has a contract with Palantir for Gotham or even the UK NHS data is reason enough to know this kind of shit is a bad idea. The entire existence of Palantir makes this kind of shit a bad idea by default.
Even if they’re not using lavender or where’s daddy (yet), I do not want them to have a detailed layout of my home, in addition to all the other information already being collected.
If the day comes when any government needs to crush civil unrest, Palantir gives them an easy button to weaponize your data against you.
