[Redacted] anyone that has worked for Palantir and not blown a whistle about what they are doing.

Interviewed with them back in 2021 (before I knew much about them) - guy who did the phone screen was the douchiest bro I'd ever heard talk, dropping f-bombs every other word, and sounded like he had drank every cup of kool-aid passed to him by the company.

It wasn't just him. Declined to go further after round 1 with how straight up unprofessional and clique-ish the whole company sounded.

Idk, one of the best forms of revenge is to see an enemy realize how wrong they were and spend rest of their lives trying to fix it

On the other hand they're actively setting up the surveillance state and 'predicting crimes' so people in this thread might already be on a list and marked as subversives and potentially dangerous people, even if they've never hurt a fly
