Oh, Palantir is ‘progressive’ now, is it?
TL;DR
The future’s so bright, he’s gotta wear sunglasses. | Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images I had other things to do today, but Alex Karp's pathetic attempt to pivot back to the left gave me no choice but to put them on hold. Last week's elections were a bloodbath for the right, a problem for all the wannabe fash founders who had tied their political fortunes to a "vibe shift" that enabled a glorious 100-year Trumpenreich. That freed up a lot of assholes to say what they actually thought.
Nauti's Take
For AI teams, this is a trust signal: political positioning increasingly affects which customers, employees, and partners will accept a platform. Before working with Palantir, verify data access, governance, and exit options, then judge its repositioning against contracts and product practice rather than public messaging.
