Fuck Palantir and fuck anyone and everyone in that business top to bottom. It is maybe the most transparently evil business in existence.
Wild how chill they are about using ML to kill people.
How is using ML any different that other tech? The goal of a military is to kill as many of the opposing force as possible while minimizing their own casualties. Whether they use night vision or a slide rule, the goal is the same.
If it were true AI that was autonomously taking the decision to kill humans, yeah that would be a fundamental change. ML isn’t really a change in targeting systems.
It’s almost as if they can’t conceive that to normal people a lower ctr due to mistakes or shortcomings of their work don’t weight on their consciousness in the same way as getting innocent people killed.
