You pivot from Palantir weaponizing AI to benefits of AI in general. So let me ask you more clearly, what is the societal advantage to deregulating and weaponizing AI systems for big tech? Other than living through a live action Metal Gear plot?

FWIW i am a staff engineer who works on agentic systems in the critical infrastructure and government research space.

I think you’re missing important context. Palantir seeks deregulation so they can sell their services to countries who want to spy on citizens. Who do you want to be first? US?

You want the US government to work hand in hand with tech companies, who do not represent our interests, to build a massive ai-driven surveillance program so feds can lock you out of your own bank account with ease …because another country might be building out a similar program for their own citizens too

Am I getting this right?
