Palantir Technologies Sparks a Controversial Metaphor
December 4, 2020
In an interview with a policeware/intelware vendor, I learned about a financial company’s view of Palantir Technologies. This is the 13 year old start up which recently went public. The company had an astounding 130 customers, about $600 million in revenue, and a modest $500 million in losses in 12 months.
Here’s the comment which I chased down in its original tweeter output glossiness:
The operative phrase is:
A full casino.
If I were a Palantirian unpacking boxes in Denver, Colorado, I would hit the Yellow Pages or the Seeing Stone. An attorney might have some thoughts about a malicious metaphor disseminated via the marvelous firm managed part time by a bearded CEO.
Palantir. A full casino. Whatever does that mean?
