Good for them. Fuck palantir.
Honestly, doing business with psychopaths and nazis who publicly preach dictatorship and oppose Democracy should be considered treason. It doesn’t matter whether they are foreign or domestic.
Anyone who thinks that is reasonable is either weapons-grade incompetent or a legitimate enemy of the state, unless the state is of course already a capitalist dictatorship masquerading as “democracy”…
USA is no longer a trustworthy ally, but even if they were, Palantir is a for profit company, that might as well side with whoever offer money, over national interests.
Trusting Palantir or any other trillion dollar company is insane disregarding nationality, EXCEPT!! if it’s within your own jurisdiction, where you can legally control the company.
For any EU country, that means at a minimum being EU owned companies, where enforcement of EU regulation is possible.
Trusting trillion dollar companies because they are within your jurisdiction is how the US became the US. A trillion dollar company cannot be legally controlled because it will buy out any controls you attempt to place on it. The only solution is to break the company up into entities of a size that is capable of existing within the law without becoming the law
It’s almost like crime pays, and capitalism actively rewards and enriches sociopaths and psychopaths…
That may be true, but companies in EU are way better regulated. And no European companies are nearly as influential as the biggest American companies.
Companies like Google, Apple, Nvidia, Meta, Palantir etc should be broken up into 10 companies to be comparable to similar European companies.
Better late than never.
Time to talk to Taiwan, EU.
What? Why is that relevant in this context?
I assume it’s because they’re big Palantir customers. Palantir has an amazingly large number of customers for a company whose public reputation is all about being devoted to pure evil.
Nah you may be right but it still doesn’t make sense. Why would we (EU) give a shit if TSMC uses Palantir?
It could also be because EU like everybody else is depending on TSMC, but that too makes no sense, because neither TSMC nor Taiwan have given any reason for EU not to trust them. Where USA has threatened war against NATO allies like Canada and Greenland!
I’d trust Taiwan any day over USA. And TSMC over Palantir.
What I meant is that they should look into setting up their own hardware supply chain instead of buying everything in the US. Making software here is fine but if the hardware is still tied to the US…We’re still reliant
