You should disclose the fact that you work for Founders Fund (Peter Thiel) when you make a video about a portfolio company of Founders Fund that was founded by Peter Thiel -- especially when the shiny claim that Palantir was used to find Bin Laden is just a rumor that has been disputed by people with knowledge on the matter.

[@loldoctor]

A small, but very important, correction: Alex Karp didn't "study under" Habermas. In academia, to "study under" a professor implies that you were the advisee of that professor. Because this relationship is similar to a master-apprentice system, the name of a student's mentor has a huge impact on that student's career after completing their degree and, if that advisor is famous, gives the advisee a great deal of credibility by association. For those unaware, Habermas is one of the most famous intellectuals of the 20th century, and his ideas are taught across the West (if not beyond) in undergrad and even high school courses. If you've ever heard of or studied the "public sphere," you've heard of or studied Habermas. But Habermas wasn't Karp's advisor, Karola Brede was. Technically, he did "study under" Habermas insofar as he worked with him and possibly took a course with him, but this relationship is completely different from an advisee-advisor relationship. It's like claiming you "worked under" Christopher Nolan because you had a single, inconsequential line in one of his movies, or that you're "related to" Brad Pitt because your second-cousin is married to his cousin's nephew, or that you "attended Harvard" because you went to a public lecture there. Technically it's true, but it implies something far beyond the reality of the situation. I suspect Karp worked with Habermas beyond one line, since he was faculty during Karp's time in grad school, but the gap between "studied under" and "worked with" is a massive one. Obviously Karp benefits tremendously from making this claim. Even having worked with Habermas in any capacity is something many scholars would kill for, and thus there's a lot of weight to having any degree of a working relationship with him for any point. That's what makes misrepresenting his relationship with Habermas both so powerful and so heinous, as there are very few people who have had the privilege to work with one of the greatest minds of a generation, and it takes away from their work and deserved credibility to claim that working with, or taking a class with, a professor is the same as apprenticing under that professor.

[@dgillies5420]

Since academia today is basically a career self-marketing profession today and not much of an academic pursuit any longer, I am not surprised that this guy trades off the name of the most famous prof at his university. That bit goes with the academic sleaze. And his name is Karp isn't there a CS guy named Richard Karp at Berkeley too??

[@tigercub2468]

I'm late to the game here.. Bin Laden was killed in May 2011, well before Palantir was widely liked or used by the military. While it was in service, there were a lot of gripes, and it wasn't an enterprise tool like it is now. Nor was it cloud-based, which meant each user needed a dedicated laptop, which limited market penetration. I was using Palantir in 2010-ish and 2012 in Afg. Their product came on a Dell 6500 dual-HD laptop, which always crashed (in my exp). It wasn't popular because the UX wasn't intuitive and had to compete against many other analytical tools. At that point in the wars, too many tools were available, and analysts stuck with what they knew, making adopting new products and ideas harder. It was in 2015/2016 that Palantir revamped its entire product and hosted it in the cloud with a better UI, drastically improving the UX and leading to service/enterprise-wide adoption. They also sued the Army, which forced the military to reevaluate Palantir's merits. Luckily, Palanir was/is superior, as demonstrated against ISIS, and more and more people were using it. In other words, it's unlikely that Palantir played an outsized role in the intelligence community or the prosecution of UBL. Based on my recollection, the hunt for UBL was more likely done on various platforms than just one. Palantir might have been in the mix, but probably not as the lead. That said, it definitely played an outsize role in the killing of Bagdadi, the leader of ISIS, because it is the premier software tool to make sense of the battlefield today.

[@wawawuu1514]

That 'could' is probably already an 'is being'. Fuck mass surveillance by governments (and cheers to Edward Snowden). I admit I haven't watched this video (yet), but the title suggests a pro-Palantir propaganda story. Note I use propaganda in the neutral sense of the word, with propaganda meaning just spreading information to the benefit of an entity such as a (political) organization, an individual and their goals or: a computer program (such as one that can be used to mass-surveille people). Meaning just because it's propaganda, it's not necessarily inaccurate or full of lies, just that it disseminates information to the benefit of somebody or something. I'm guessing this video does not contain any major inaccuracies or even outright lies, but again, judging from the title it sounds like it makes the existence and use of Palantir, in the hands of the government, more palatable to the masses (I hope I'm wrong). Regardless of whether that's the video's/video creator's intention, intention doesn't matter a bit. What matters is what people will take away from this video and I hope I'm wrong and it ain't "Yeah, maybe mass surveillance can be okay after all, just in some cases, I guess? Bin Laden was a really bad guy after all!" And that's how they get their foot in your door. Bin Laden's crimes, as horrible as they were, don't amount to even a drop in the bucket of poverty, murder, terror, exploitation, systemic oppression, intentional suffering and all other forms of violence caused by most governments in the world, regardless whether they're openly evil dictatorships or the so-called liberal democracies of the West (actually, the latter are even worse, speaking in honeyed tongues while supporting and collaborating with some of the world's most openly evil governments (example: Germany, a liberal, parliamentary "democracy" and its support for Erdogan and weapons deals with Saudi-Arabia). Also I hate how they took the name from Lord of the Rings. While Tolkien was conservative (and outright racist), I dunno if he had been down with mass-spying on people employing technology (which the rapid, unchecked spread of was something Tolkien was critical of, after all, what with how Sauron's armies represent industrialization and the destruction of England's beautiful countrysides) on a scale somebody like, say, Stalin could have only dreamt of (and had he been down wit it, well, fuck his view on the matter then).

I could not make heads nor tails of the equations and stuff I saw around the place, or their casual relationship to the practical technology that made their jobs function. The shire just had a mission… Think of a genius that knows their field of science, but daisy-chains surge protectors risking fires, plugs a random usb stick into their company laptop risking malware… but I had a feeling that those awkward kids working for an LOTR theme+bioshock culture company were up to something incredible….

Ohhhh, that makes complete sense now. Osama had found one of the Palantiri somewhere in the Middle-East, and hoping to be able to utilize the object's power to aid him, he made the mistake of using it. The moment he placed his hands upon the orb and gazed in, he was immediately under attack by a powerful force. He heard horrific sounds: Bush struggling to say "nuculur" mixed with sounds of country music and the dropping of bombs. None of it could compare to what he saw next. What saw him. Immediately from the darkness of the orb flashed a single horrific red eye, an eye that could only belong to that most heinous of infernal beings. The eye of Dick Cheney turns its burning gaze toward an Osama powerless to remove his hands from the looking glass at this point. *"III SSEEEEEE YYOUUUUUUU!"*. He franticly tried to relinquish the sphere but alas it was too late. The enemy knew, and the Black Riders would soon glide through the streets of Abottabad in search of the only thing they seemed to care about. The ring. The one terrorist ring to rule them all.

Yeah, you're right, I hadn't the slightest notion as to how this all begun.

[@jamesharris184]

Exceptionally well done.

[@brentbarham3157]

Thank you so much for being partasin and not withholding information and leading people into your opinions. Was watching a video from “Modern MBA” about body cam history and I couldn’t even watch it.

[@giannisparanis3373]

"Not being partisan" Did he even mention what opponents of palantir are saying? Seems like he very much chose a side and presented it as the objective truth.

[@stanbratch6534]

Thank you for putting out a historically accurate summary of the company without the hype or obvious toxic bias in either direction. Well done sir. The shire accepts your membership application.

Came here to write this comment but you did it better and more concise.

Without the hype? LOL. Did you not read the BS title?

Another great video

[@kisfekete]

Congratulations to the owners for choosing the outright most ominous, dangerous thing from Tolkien's mythos as the name of their company. One that turned a strong-willed wizard (Saruman the White) into a henchman of Sauron. I guess at least they are not fomenting illusions about where this all leads?...

[@palantirresearch]

Working in healthcare data, I get why most ppl and average investors don’t understand the company but the value and market they serve are painfully obvious to me. It really didn’t take much of a leap to understand. And once ppl get over that hurdle, being able to stomach a free discourse, government serving but civil liberty protecting persona is where the division comes from the most.

[@markusmatthew7044]

Digging your channel's concept. 🔥

Wow. Very well done.

I don't remember that he did the little beg routine about hitting the LIKE button and subscribe, etc. And I just subscribed. When u put out a quality product, you don't have to beg.

[@aiden3229]

This is the first video on this channel I watched and had to become a subscriber. I don’t subscribe to much but this feels like a channel I’m going to enjoy. Very very interesting and well constructed storyline.

[@stischer47]

Ah yes, the problem with software and systems that are "inherently obvious" to engineers but gibberish to end users.

[@Capeau]

sounds like someone's holding some PLTR bags...

[@whawha9016]

You make these soulless tech-mercenaries, who develop the tools for mass-surveillance beyond anything that STASI could ever dream of, look like heroes. Are you affiliated to them or to the intelligence-industrial complex coincidentally?

[@boiwaif]

He is

[@baxter987]

Watched whole video and conclusion was that we can not know how Palantir helped to track down Bin Laden. Whole video is basically an engaging history about Palantir. A time sink and a time waste, generating watch time for KZbin

[@jarvisrich2]

Epic videos, thanks

[@dialac1]

Thanks for this video. I currently own a little over 10k shares of this company since I had to sell some to renovate my house. Best investment so far after Apple.

[@Col-T-Invest]

Fantastic video, thank you so much. Palantir seems like the real deal in terms of creating real value out of large data sets and AI.

[@letsplaywar]

Since Palantir is worth 32 Billion dollars, i think they are doing good. But i like Boeing and Lockheed martin more then Palantir. i would rather work for Boeing then Palantir.

[@daveselbow9128]

25 mins in & you haven't even told me what the APP is yet - this thing better be good..EDIT; I dont think your gonna tell us - im off

[@1337kaas]

It's basically a documentary about the company instead of telling us what the app does and how it's used to catch osama. Waste 30 mins on a company history.

[@Mightydoggo]

Studying law with dyslexia is hella impressive tbh. I suffer from severe ADHD and I can barely bind my own shoes without medication. lmao (It´s not that bad actually)

[@ak4good]

Great Palantir Ad, bravo 👏

[@robr177]

You know, if the software runs on big mainframes or unix servers, it's not an "App"

[@josephspruill1212]

We never needed a app to catch him. The ppl in Afghanistan pointed a the mountain he was staying in the other side where they pointed all the time! You ask where the Taliban was they pointed to that area. When I came home and they caught him. I was like that’s where the ppl was pointing all the time we just wasn’t listening period

[@ivanmaglica264]

I'm confused, the UI that is showing throughout the video (for example 30:45) is a UI of a deployment tool. It does say Palantir, but it has stages, references to kubernetes, container deployment details, grafana stack details, ... It seems more like UI of a system that is used to deploy Palantir.
