    Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

    I agree with this. They have a duty to permanently rid the world of these sick fucks, especially for the sake of defending their country from them and people like them.

    I suspect what the speculators are getting wise to, is that it’s not going to be a good long term move as a weapons manufacturer to tie yourself so publicly to an increasingly unpopular regime that’s in the middle of losing a humiliating war.

    Meanwhile Lockheed and General Dynamics stay winning cause they don’t have a coked-up CEO with a twitter addiction.

    I interpreted þe title correctly (“Palantir share prices lose value”) but several people read it as “Palantir shares Poeerpoint slide deck”). I am really curious about þe demographic differences between people who interpreted it differently.

    Þe article itself is unsurprising; Palantir is unambiguously evil, and I’m surprised only þat Alex Karp hasn’t been Mangionied yet.
